I want to build lib2 static library with pre-built lib1 static library. Does this work?
add_library(lib1 STATIC lib1.c) add_library(lib2 STATIC lib2.c) target_link_libraries(lib2 INTERFACE lib1) Also, Kyle said linking against lib2 will link against both lib1 and lib2. Is there a static way of checking the relation between lib1 and lib2 ? Separately and after using INTERFACE option with lib1 and lib2. - Vinay On Tue, Jul 2, 2019 at 8:48 PM Kyle Edwards <kyle.edwa...@kitware.com> wrote: > > On Tue, 2019-07-02 at 20:44 +0530, vinay kumar Kotegowder wrote: > > Hi Everyone, > > > > I have a requirement on combining two static library into one. > > Can anyone tell me how can I achieve this? > > > > Regards, > > Vinay > > If you just want to make a library such that linking against that > library links against your two static libraries, you could use an > interface library.
