Hi Brad, Robert, Here's the algorithm in short: we split the string by the semicolon and then merge it again, processing each entry as follows. If it contains a slash (forward or backward) or ends with a .so or .a, we consider it to be a fully specified path and don’t add the "-l" prefix. Otherwise, we add it. We also do some additional processing to handle parentheses (we use them to denote start/end of the groups), but it should be orthogonal to the addition of the prefix.
Speaking of which, you could try using parentheses instead of -Wl,--start-group/-Wl,--end-group to define a linker group in the CMakeLists.txt file. The following worked for me (note the escaping): target_link_libraries(twolib-second twolib-first \( c m gcc log \)) This won't be compatible with other generators I presume, but at least it should serve as a workaround while we fix the prefix addition to the -Wl flags in Nsight Tegra. -Dmitry -----Original Message----- From: Brad King [mailto:brad.k...@kitware.com] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2015 9:06 PM To: Robert Goulet Cc: Justin Borodinsky; cmake-developers@cmake.org; Dmitry Polyanitsa Subject: Re: [cmake-developers] target_link_libraries and --start-group/--end-group ?

That is in the Nsight Tegra implementation AFAIK. Here is a related change already in 3.1.0: VS: Fix Tegra-Android platform linking of libraries by name http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=178f56a5 Dmitry, how does Nsight Tegra transform these flags?
