TARGET_MESSAGES — CMake 3.5.2 Documentation

# TARGET_MESSAGES

Specify whether to report the completion of each target.

This property specifies whether Makefile Generators should add a progress message describing that each target has been completed. If the property is not set the default is `ON`. Set the property to `OFF` to disable target completion messages.

This option is intended to reduce build output when little or no work needs to be done to bring the build tree up to date.

If a `CMAKE_TARGET_MESSAGES` cache entry exists its value initializes the value of this property.

Non-Makefile generators currently ignore this property.

See the counterpart property `RULE_MESSAGES` to disable everything except for target completion messages.
