Hi,
Is there a way to define a library target, on which I could use target_link_libraries(), without creating/building this library, i.e. without defining it with add_library(), but with add_custom_target for instance ? The goal is to work on a small part of a large project: I'd like to have my binary linked with the few libraries that I have checked out, and all other libraries taken from a pre-built repository (i.e. a full build of the project used as a reference on a shared filesystem) (Somehow similar to the process described here for scons : http://www.scons.org/doc/1.2.0/HTML/scons-user/c3810.html, but only at a library level) Our initial and most straight forward idea (unsuccessful) was to implement this build system: - describe all library dependencies (target_link_libraries) in a single common file (so that all info are present in the sparse sandbox) - for each library of the full project: o if present in the sandbox, build it and use it o otherwise, consider the pre-built lib from the reference, and don't try to rebuild it We also tried without success to create symlink to the missing libs, but it was not possible then to use target_link_libraries() on these targets. 3rd unsuccessful solution: trying to add_subdirectory() of the reference sandbox in the sparse sandbox for missing directories: cmake complains that these directories don't belong to the project (don't share the same root). So, is there any solution for this way of working with cmake? Thanks This email was sent to you by Thomson Reuters, the global news and information company.
