Hi, I think this warning could be removed: "You have called ADD_LIBRARY for library foobar without any source files. This typically indicates a problem with your CMakeLists.txt file "
If you have a function that populates sources to a target, let us say something like this: function(activate_feature target_name) target_sources(${target_name} PRIVATE feature.cc) endfunction() you would like to be able to do add_library(foobar SHARED) activate_feature(foobar) without any CMake warning. I've started using that design scheme more and more. That is, to have a function setting up a target where the target name is given as an input parameter. The nice thing about it is that I can pass both an executable target and a shared library target as input to such a function. cheers, Erik Sjölund -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
