Hi all. I have a question regarding library dependency. Im using VC2005.
Assume the following: I have a solution with a set of projects, three are libraries and one is an application: A.lib /A.dll B.lib/B.dll : B depends on A.lib, so if I want to use B.lib somewhere, A.libis also automatically added as a link dependency. Also B.lib depends on X.lib which is a library external to the solution. X.lib is also a X.lib/X.dll C.lib, depends on B.lib, so in the list of libraries in Additional Libraries, is now: A.lib, B.lib, X.lib Application APP depends on C, so the list of libraries is then: A.lib , B.lib, X.lib, C.lib Now if X.lib is a library with the implementation in a dynamic library, one does not need to link C nor APP against X.lib because it is implicitly already linked against B.lib My question is now, is there a way to tell CMake to not include X.lib (which is needed to build B.lib only) when using B.lib? Otherwise the list of libraries in Additional LIbraries tends to be pretty long... It seems that Cmake always assumes that all libraries including their dependencies should be used when building. I realize that there is perhaps no way for CMake to automatically realize whether a library should be included or not... But is there a way around this? -- ________________________________________________________________ Anders Backman Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] HPC2N/VRlab Phone: +46 (0)90-786 9936 Umea university Cellular: +46 (0)70-392 64 67 S-901 87 UMEA SWEDEN Fax: +46 90-786 6126 http://www.cs.umu.se/~andersb
