Hi all
Does anyone of you know how to reliably obtain the list of object
files belonging to a target? And in the same line, how would I obtain
the object file which corresponds to a certain source file (provided
that it is only used for a single target)?
Using the approach shown in the CMake-Book (4th ed., p. 52) which
simply replaces .cxx by .obj (obviously on Windows) does not work
reliably, especially if the sources are not in
CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR. On Windows (this is the case I'm interested
in, regrettably), particularly with MSVC, additional problems arise if
the same target has multiple files with the same file name in
different directories. Because, by default, all object files seem to
be built in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}, EXCEPT if
there are name clashes. In this case one of the objects gets built in $
{CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}, the others in
subdirectories, in order to prevent the name clash.
So, you see, obtaining the object file name is anything but trivial. I
scourged the documentation and Google, but couldn't find anything
useful...
Thanks for your help in advance
Michael
