# CMP0029

The `subdir_depends()` command should not be called.

The implementation of this command has been empty since December 2001 but was kept in CMake for compatibility for a long time.

CMake >= 3.0 prefer that this command never be called. The `OLD` behavior for this policy is to allow the command to be called. The `NEW` behavior for this policy is to issue a `FATAL_ERROR` when the command is called.

This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.0. CMake version 3.20.3 warns when the policy is not set and uses `OLD` behavior. Use the `cmake_policy()` command to set it to `OLD` or `NEW` explicitly.

Note

The `OLD` behavior of a policy is `deprecated by definition` and may be removed in a future version of CMake.
