On subsequent CMake runs, these environment variables are not set, +opening up the opportunity for different behavior between the first and +subsequent CMake runs. CMake 3.24 and above prefer to not set these +environment variables when a language is enabled, even on the first run in +a build directory. + +The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy sets the relevant environment variable +on the first run when a language is enabled. The ``NEW`` behavior for this +policy does not set any such environment variables. + +This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.24. Use the +:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly. +Unlike many policies, CMake version |release| does *not* warn +when this policy is not set and simply uses ``OLD`` behavior. + +.. include:: DEPRECATED.txt |
