\title AUTOGEN_BETTER_GRAPH_MULTI_CONFIG
 
\brief Improves the dependency graph for multi-configuration generators when you
set it on a target.
 
When this boolean property is enabled, \c{CMake} will generate more per-config targets.
Thus, the dependency graph will be more accurate for multi-configuration
generators and some recompilations will be avoided.
 
Since Qt 6.8, this property is enabled by default. For older versions,
you need to enable it manually to use it.
However, \l{qt_extract_metatypes} and \l{qt_add_qml_module} were updated to
support \c{AUTOGEN_BETTER_GRAPH_MULTI_CONFIG} in Qt 6.8, so you will get build
errors, unless you patch the older Qt version to support it.
 
See \l{https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/AUTOGEN_BETTER_GRAPH_MULTI_CONFIG.html}{AUTOGEN_BETTER_GRAPH_MULTI_CONFIG} for more information.
