You could write a small CMakeLists function that uses get_target_property()
followed by
set_target_properties() to append flags to the COMPILE_FLAGS property.
Give this a shot:
function(append_compile_flags_to_target _target)
get_target_property(_existing ${_target} COMPILE_FLAGS)
if(_existing)
set_target_properties(${_target} PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS
"${_existing} ${ARGN}")
else()
set_target_properties(${_target} PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS ${ARGN})
endif()
endfunction()
Overall though I agree with you, it should be possible to append multiple
properties to the same set_target_properties() command.
