A convenience library works as an object file at link time: it is included on the final executable as any other object file. A static library does not have this quality: the linker picks the library's contents only if there is something elsewhere that requires it (i.e. a reference to a symbol defined on some object file contained on the library). -- Oscar _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
