This is necessary +to generate meaningful project file names in Xcode and VS IDE +generators. It also allows the target names to be referenced +unambiguously. + +Makefile generators are capable of supporting duplicate custom target +names. For projects that care only about Makefile generators and do +not wish to support Xcode or VS IDE generators, one may set this +property to true to allow duplicate custom targets. The property +allows multiple add_custom_target command calls in different +directories to specify the same target name. However, setting this +property will cause non-Makefile generators to produce an error and +refuse to generate the project. |
