Ok, so MSVC can do it, but AR can't. So I guess you only care about MSVC.
Yes. Sorry, I forgot to say that.

But why don't you just ship your users a dynamic lib? As far as I know, there are no restrictions on dynamic libs including static libs.
That is an alternative, but it requires a non-trivial amount of work, testing, documentation fixes etc., which I'd prefer not to embark on at the moment. I'm actually happy if I just can get hold of a CMake variable where I can put extra flags to pass to lib when creating a static lib. Something like set(CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS "...") -- /Jesper -- /Jesper _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
