> DavidYou never link static libraries. They are more like zip files than actual libraries and just contain the compiled object files and for if you ran ranlib on it, also a "table-of-contents" to speed link up. If you do "target_link_libraries" in CMake, where the target is a static library, CMake just creates the static library archive and remembers internally the transitive link dependency. If you linked that static archive into an executable, the python libraries would then show up on the command line.
