Here is a list of all target properties used in autotools project. Some of them are not available on all targets.
If checked, this target is not installed and has to be built only when running checks.
The flags to pass to the C compiler when compiling target source files. This value overrides the one eventually defined in the parent folder.
These flags are passed to every compilation that invokes the C preprocessor. This value overrides the one eventually defined in the parent folder.
The flags to pass to the C++ compiler flags when compiling target source files. This value overrides the one eventually defined in the parent folder.
If checked, this target is not installed. It can be used for utilities used to build other target or programs used only by developers.
If checked, do not add prefix to manual page and executable. Such prefix are used to provide alternative of system tools.
The flags to pass to the Fortran 9x compiler when compiling target source files. This value overrides the one eventually defined in the parent folder.
If checked, include the target in the distribution package.
It defines where the target is installed. It is not directly the directory where the files are installed but the name of one of the standard directory variable (bindir, sbindir, libdir, libexecdir, datadir, pkgdatadir, pkglibexecdir, includedir, mandir, infodir, docdir) or a custom variable defined in the folder properties.
The flags to pass to the Java compiler when compiling target source files. This value overrides the one eventually defined in the parent folder.
If checked, keep the hierarchy of the project directory when installing files.
The flags to pass to the scanner generator Lex or Flex when generating target source files. This value overrides the one eventually defined in the parent folder.
Specify additional libraries used by the target. Useful for adding non package libraries. See Add non-packaged libraries page for more details.
The flags to pass to the linker when linking the target. This value overrides the one eventually defined in the parent folder.
Specify the section of the manual where to add man page. Valid section name are the digits ‘0’ through ‘9’, and the letters ‘l’ and ‘n’.
The flags to pass to the Objective C compiler when compiling target source files. This value overrides the one eventually defined in the parent folder.
The flags to pass to the Vala compiler when compiling target source files. This value overrides the one eventually defined in the parent folder.
The flags to pass to the parser generator Bison or Yacc when generating target source files. This value overrides the one eventually defined in the parent folder.
