# CMAKE_ENABLE_EXPORTS

Added in version 3.4.

Specify whether executables export symbols for loadable modules.

This variable is used to initialize the `ENABLE_EXPORTS` target property for executable targets when they are created by calls to the `add_executable()` command. See the property documentation for details.

This variable has been superseded by the `CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_ENABLE_EXPORTS` variable. It is provided for backward compatibility with older CMake code, but should not be used in new projects.
