A related question: if I include an external project in my solution
using
include_external_msproject(Bar ../../Bar/Bar.vcproj)
can I later refer to this project using
target_link_libraries(Foo Bar)
More generally, what is the correct way to specify that a CMake
target should be linked with some external library?
It is this last question I would like to get an answer to.
Say you have another project that produces a library called
libBar.dll and that library is located in C:\Libs then you can refer
to that library in CMake directly. In other words, the cmake code you
have is absolutely correct:
Target_link_Libraries(Foo Bar)
with the following caveat: libBar.dll MUST be in a known directory
that the linker will look in. You can make sure of this by adding the
following cmake code above the "target_link_libraries" code:
LINK_DIRECTORIES ("C:\Libs")
---- Here is the documentation for the command ---------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:mjackson]$ cmake --help LINK_DIRECTORIES
LINK_DIRECTORIES
Specify directories in which to search for libraries.
LINK_DIRECTORIES(directory1 directory2 ...)
Specify the paths in which the linker should search for
libraries.
Hope that helps.
