# IMPORTED_LIBNAME

Specify the link library name for an imported Interface Library.

An interface library builds no library file itself but does specify usage requirements for its consumers. The `IMPORTED_LIBNAME` 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.

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 `foo` but may not be a path (e.g. `/usr/lib/libfoo.so`) or a flag (e.g. `-Wl,...`). The name is never treated as a library target name even if it happens to name one.

The `IMPORTED_LIBNAME` property is allowed only on imported Interface Libraries and is rejected on targets of other types (for which the `IMPORTED_LOCATION` target property may be used).
