Hello,
Does CMake guarantee that the order of the libraries passed into
target_link_libraries(...) is preserved on the actual link line?
For example, If I have:
target_link_libraries(sometarget lib1 lib2 lib3 ...)
does CMake guarantee that the link line will have the ordering:
g++ ... -llib1 -llib2 -llib3 ...
?
This is the behavior that I am seeing in the CMake version that I am using but
there is no mention of this in the documentation for target_link_libraries(...)
at:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake2.6docs.html#command:target_link_libraries
This is important because I have some arbitrary third partly libraries and some
of them have some internal dependencies. I am happy to list these in the right
order in one place to take are of the dependency ordering.
I am nervous to rely on the ordering that I am seeing without some assurance
that this ordering is guaranteed.
Thanks,
- Ross
