CMAKE_PROJECT_COMPAT_VERSION
----------------------------
.. versionadded:: 4.1
.. note::
Experimental. Gated by ``CMAKE_EXPERIMENTAL_EXPORT_PACKAGE_INFO``.
The compatibility version of the top level project.
This variable holds the compatibility version of the project as specified in the
top level CMakeLists.txt file by a :command:`project` command. In the event
that the top level CMakeLists.txt contains multiple :command:`project` calls,
the most recently called one from that top level CMakeLists.txt will determine
the value that ``CMAKE_PROJECT_COMPAT_VERSION`` contains. For example, consider
the following top level CMakeLists.txt:
.. code-block:: cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 4.1)
project(First VERSION 9.0 COMPAT_VERSION 1.2.3)
project(Second VERSION 9.0 COMPAT_VERSION 3.4.5)
add_subdirectory(sub)
project(Third VERSION 9.0 COMPAT_VERSION 6.7.8)
And ``sub/CMakeLists.txt`` with the following contents:
.. code-block:: cmake
project(SubProj VERSION 2.0 COMPAT_VERSION 1.0)
message("CMAKE_PROJECT_COMPAT_VERSION = ${CMAKE_PROJECT_COMPAT_VERSION}")
The most recently seen :command:`project` command from the top level
CMakeLists.txt would be ``project(Second ...)``, so this will print::
CMAKE_PROJECT_COMPAT_VERSION = 3.4.5
To obtain the version from the most recent call to :command:`project` in
the current directory scope or above, see the :variable:`PROJECT_COMPAT_VERSION`
variable.
