"Adds an executable target called <name> to be built from the "
"source files listed in the command invocation. "
"The <name> corresponds to the logical target name and must be "
"globally unique within a project. "
"The actual file name of the executable built is constructed based on "
"conventions of the native platform "
"(such as <name>.exe or just <name>). "
"\n"
"By default the executable file will be created in the build tree "
"directory corresponding to the source tree directory in which "
"the command was invoked. "
"See documentation of the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY "
"target property to change this location. "
"See documentation of the OUTPUT_NAME target property to change "
"the <name> part of the final file name. "
"\n"
"If WIN32 is given the property WIN32_EXECUTABLE will be set on the "
"target created. "
"See documentation of that target property for details."
"\n"
"If MACOSX_BUNDLE is given the corresponding property will be "
"set on the created target. "
"See documentation of the MACOSX_BUNDLE target property for details."

"details."

"The add_executable command can also create IMPORTED executable "
"targets using this signature:\n"
" add_executable(<name> IMPORTED)\n"
"An IMPORTED executable target references an executable file located "
"outside the project. "
"No rules are generated to build it. "
"The target name has scope in the directory in which it is created "
"and below. "
"It may be referenced like any target built within the project. "
"IMPORTED executables are useful for convenient reference from "
"commands like add_custom_command. "
"Details about the imported executable are specified by setting "
"properties whose names begin in \"IMPORTED_\". "
"The most important such property is IMPORTED_LOCATION "
"(and its per-configuration version IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG>) "
"which specifies the location of the main executable file on disk. "
"See documentation of the IMPORTED_* properties for more information."
