Hi,
I need to be able to specify directories that the linker will search
to be able to find libraries it is to link against. For this, the
solution I've found is LINK_DIRECTORIES().
Next, I need to be able to specify library files that the executable
will link against. I have no idea how to do this part. This needs to
be portable, so the only logical way I can think of doing this is to
use IF() conditionals for each different compiler/platform I intend
to support. For example (pseudocode):
IF( platform is windows )
LINK_LIBRARIES( a.lib, b.lib, c.lib )
ELSEIF( platform is linux )
LINK_LIBRARIES( a.o, b.o, c.o )
ENDIF()
This could get really messy, so I'm not sure how you guys would
typically handle this situation. Thanks for reading.
typically you do:
add_executable(main main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main a)
and CMake _usually_ picks the correct library for the given platform
(a.lib, a.so, a.dylib... )
Is that what you were asking?
