InstallRequiredSystemLibraries — CMake 4.3.4 Documentation

# InstallRequiredSystemLibraries

This module searches for compiler-provided system runtime libraries and adds installation rules for them.

Load this module in a CMake project with:

    include(InstallRequiredSystemLibraries)

Some optional variables may be set prior to including this module to adjust behavior:

`CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS`

  Specify additional runtime libraries that may not be detected. After inclusion any detected libraries will be appended to this.

`CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_SKIP`

  Set to TRUE to skip calling the `install(PROGRAMS)` command to allow the includer to specify its own install rule, using the value of `CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS` to get the list of libraries.

`CMAKE_INSTALL_DEBUG_LIBRARIES`

  Set to TRUE to install the debug runtime libraries when available with MSVC tools.

`CMAKE_INSTALL_DEBUG_LIBRARIES_ONLY`

  Set to TRUE to install only the debug runtime libraries with MSVC tools even if the release runtime libraries are also available.

`CMAKE_INSTALL_UCRT_LIBRARIES`

  Added in version 3.6.

  Set to TRUE to install the Windows Universal CRT libraries for app-local deployment (e.g. to Windows XP). This is meaningful only with MSVC from Visual Studio 2015 or higher.

  Added in version 3.9: One may set a `CMAKE_WINDOWS_KITS_10_DIR` environment variable to an absolute path to tell CMake to look for Windows 10 SDKs in a custom location. The specified directory is expected to contain `Redist/ucrt/DLLs/*` directories.

`CMAKE_INSTALL_MFC_LIBRARIES`

  Set to TRUE to install the MSVC MFC runtime libraries.

`CMAKE_INSTALL_OPENMP_LIBRARIES`

  Set to TRUE to install the MSVC OpenMP runtime libraries

`CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_DESTINATION`

  Specify the `install(PROGRAMS)` command `DESTINATION` option. If not specified, the default is `bin` on Windows and `lib` elsewhere.

`CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_NO_WARNINGS`

  Set to TRUE to disable warnings about required library files that do not exist. (For example, Visual Studio Express editions may not provide the redistributable files.)

`CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_COMPONENT`

  Added in version 3.3.

  Specify the `install(PROGRAMS)` command `COMPONENT` option. If not specified, no such option will be used.

Added in version 3.10: Support for installing Intel compiler runtimes.
