Hello, Right now I'm using a nightly build (3.11.20180407-g268d0) to use and test the Usage Requirements with Object Libraries, which is planned for CMake 3.12.0 (https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/14778)
It's working great so far, but I if i have a construct of two object libraries, which depend in some way of each other I get an error message: CMake Error: The inter-target dependency graph contains the following strongly connected component (cycle): "lib1" of type OBJECT_LIBRARY depends on "lib2" (strong) "lib2" of type OBJECT_LIBRARY depends on "lib1" (weak) At least one of these targets is not a STATIC_LIBRARY. Cyclic dependencies are allowed only among static libraries. CMakeLists.txt: add_library(lib1 OBJECT lib1.c) target_link_libraries(lib1 PUBLIC lib2) add_library(lib2 OBJECT lib2.c) target_link_libraries(lib2 PUBLIC lib1) If i use Static libraries, then it works (in fact even if only one library is an object library it fails). Is it possible to implement the same thing for object libraries too, or are there some technical restrictions? In the past i had sometimes such cyclic dependencies with legacy code and i think it would be great if it is possible to support such dependencies with object libraries as well.
