# IMPORTED_IMPLIB

Full path to the import library for an `IMPORTED` target.

This property may be set:

- On DLL platforms, to the location of the `.lib` part of the DLL.

- On AIX, to an import file (e.g. `.imp`) created for executables that export symbols (see the `ENABLE_EXPORTS` target property).

- On macOS, to an import file (e.g. `.tbd`) created for shared libraries (see the `ENABLE_EXPORTS` target property). For frameworks this is the location of the `.tbd` file symlink just inside the framework folder.

The `IMPORTED_IMPLIB` target property may be overridden for a given configuration `<CONFIG>` by the configuration-specific `IMPORTED_IMPLIB_<CONFIG>` target property. Furthermore, the `MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG>` target property may be used to map between a project's configurations and those of an imported target. If none of these is set then the name of any other configuration listed in the `IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS` target property may be selected and its `IMPORTED_IMPLIB_<CONFIG>` value used.

This property is ignored for non-imported targets.
