<a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html#interface-libraries"><span class="std std-ref">Interface Library</span></a>.</p>
<p>An interface library builds no library file itself but does specify
usage requirements for its consumers. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">IMPORTED_LIBNAME</span></code>
property may be set to specify a single library name to be placed
on the link line in place of the interface library target name as
a requirement for using the interface.</p>
<p>This property is intended for use in naming libraries provided by
a platform SDK for which the full path to a library file may not
be known. The value may be a plain library name such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code>
but may <em>not</em> be a path (e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/usr/lib/libfoo.so</span></code>) or a flag
(e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-Wl,...</span></code>). The name is never treated as a library target
name even if it happens to name one.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">IMPORTED_LIBNAME</span></code> property is allowed only on
<a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html#imported-targets"><span class="std std-ref">imported</span></a> <a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html#interface-libraries"><span class="std std-ref">Interface Libraries</span></a>
and is rejected on targets of other types (for which
the <span class="target" id="index-0-prop_tgt:IMPORTED_LOCATION"></span><a class="reference internal" href="IMPORTED_LOCATION.html#prop_tgt:IMPORTED_LOCATION" title="IMPORTED_LOCATION"><code class="xref cmake cmake-prop_tgt docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">IMPORTED_LOCATION</span></code></a> target property may be used).</p>
