EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL — CMake 3.15.0 Documentation

# EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL

Exclude the directory from the all target of its parent.

A property on a directory that indicates if its targets are excluded from the default build target. If it is not, then with a Makefile for example typing make will cause the targets to be built. The same concept applies to the default build of other generators.

Targets inherit the `EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` property from the directory that they are created in. When a directory is excluded, all of its targets will have `EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` set to `TRUE`. After creating such a target you can change its `EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` property to `FALSE`. This will cause the target to be included in the default build target.
