CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE
-----------------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.6
Type of target generated for :command:`try_compile` calls using the
source file signature. Valid values are:
``EXECUTABLE``
Use :command:`add_executable` to name the source file in the
generated project. This is the default if no value is given.
``STATIC_LIBRARY``
Use :command:`add_library` with the ``STATIC`` option to name the
source file in the generated project. This avoids running the
linker and is intended for use with cross-compiling toolchains
that cannot link without custom flags or linker scripts.
