# target_sources

Add sources to a target.

    target_sources(<target>
      <INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items1...]
      [<INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items2...] ...])

Specify sources to use when compiling a given target. The named `<target>` must have been created by a command such as `add_executable()` or `add_library()` and must not be an IMPORTED Target.

The `INTERFACE`, `PUBLIC` and `PRIVATE` keywords are required to specify the scope of the following arguments. `PRIVATE` and `PUBLIC` items will populate the `SOURCES` property of `<target>`. `PUBLIC` and `INTERFACE` items will populate the `INTERFACE_SOURCES` property of `<target>`. The following arguments specify sources. Repeated calls for the same `<target>` append items in the order called.

Arguments to `target_sources` may use “generator expressions” with the syntax `$<...>`. See the `cmake-generator-expressions(7)` manual for available expressions. See the `cmake-buildsystem(7)` manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
