Alan, thanks for the help. You are right that your approach works without debug/optimized. Unfortunately, even though
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(blendmaterials fem) works, this doesn't (in a debug build tree): TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(blendmaterials femd) The former is also incorrect for a debug build tree, because libfem.a is not even built in that tree. I suspect this has to do with my (inproper?) use of CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX. I'll try to set up a hello world cmake file, thanks for the suggestion! --nico On Feb 19, 2008 1:23 PM, Alan W.
