Can anyone tell me what the best way is (without a whole lot of rebuilding) to take several individual libraries and combine them into a single large library?
In our autotools Makefile.am, we have the following: libbrlcad_la_SOURCES = libbrlcad_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 19:1 libbrlcad_la_LIBADD = libbrlcad_nil.la libbrlcad_nil_la_SOURCES = libbrlcad_nil_la_LIBADD = \ $(top_builddir)/src/libbu/libbu_nil.la \ $(top_builddir)/src/libbn/libbn_nil.la \ $(top_builddir)/src/librt/librt_nil.la \ $(top_builddir)/src/libwdb/libwdb_nil.la \ $(top_builddir)/src/libged/libged_nil.la If I'm not mistaken, this appears to build static and dynamic libbrlcad.a/libbrlcad.dylib/libbrlcad.so/etc. libraries using the already built libbu, libbn, etc. libraries, without recompiling anything. I have successfully built all of the component libraries using CMake both STATIC and SHARED, but I am a bit puzzled as to how to combine them all into the monster library. I can't define an add_library target without source files - is there some other way to approach this? The arguments against reusing object files don't come into it here, since the whole point is to combine what was already built into a single large library. Sorry if the question is basic but I may not even be using the right terminology to search for what I want to do here. Thanks for any help.
