Hi,
I have used Cmake to build a VS2005C++ project under windows. And for the
project i need to link to some external library. I can manually do it under
VS2005, but i wish i could do it using cmake statement.
The project name is TEST, i put the external library in a folder named
${TEST_SOURCE_DIR}/epanet/ which contains the epanet2.h epanet2.lib and
epanet2.dll files. I use the Include_directories and link_directories to point
to the /epanet/ folder. And i use TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES to link the
library. However, i still have to put the full path like
${TEST_SOURCE_DIR}/epanet2/epanet2.lib to link to the library including file
extension. And I do not know how to link to the epanet2.dll file. I have to
manually copy the dll file in order to make the code to work otherwise it will
complain cannot find the .dll file. How can i do that in cmake so that both
the .lib file and .dll file will be linked without manual actions? Thanks.
Regards,
zhigao
Below is the cmake file

LINK_DIRECTORIES(${TEST_SOURCE_DIR}/epanet)
SET(_LINK_EPANET_LIB ${TEST_SOURCE_DIR}/epanet/epanet2.lib)
