What is "virtual target"

[vongodric]

Sry if this a dumb question, but what are they?

[Alca Isilon]

Those are buildtargets that don't refer directly to a specific output file. The targets "All" and "clean" are virtual build targets.

So in short they are a method of grouping some of the different buildtargets of your project into one buildtarget. (e.g. some GUI required buildtargets into virtual target GUI and console targets into CONSOLE).

ah I see. useful.
