[CMake] building a library named 'general'
Hi! I've come across an odd conundrum and need a little help resolving it. I'm porting a large toolkit to use CMake instead of an autoconf / configure-based makefile system. One problem we tripped across is a library named 'libgeneral.so', built as part of the toolkit itself. The trouble is that the syltax of a CMakeLists.txt file does not permit linking a library named general. Suppose you have a library named general: - add_library(general foo bar) - ...and then try to link it into an application: - add_executable(myapp baz) target_link_libraries(myapp general) - cmake complains about the fact that 'general' is a reserved keyword, and I have found no way to force or finagle linkage against a library named 'libgeneral'. Any ideas? -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
