      add_library(QtQuickEffectMakerDoc INTERFACE)
target_link_libraries(QtQuickEffectMakerDoc INTERFACE Qt::Core)

      results in this error during the generation phase with CMake 3.16 on Windows:

      -- Configuring done
CMake Error at qtquickeffectmaker/src/doc/CMakeLists.txt:1 (add_library):
  INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets may only have whitelisted properties.  The
  property "WIN32_EXECUTABLE" is not allowed.

      The culprit is this bit in the interface of QtCore:

          if(WIN32)
        list(APPEND entrypoint_conditions "$<BOOL:$<TARGET_PROPERTY:WIN32_EXECUTABLE>>")
    endif()

      even though it's wrappend in an AND condition that checks whether the target's type is EXECUTABLE...

        No reviews matched the request. Check your Options in the drop-down menu of this sections header.
