How do I link a *.a file that doesn't start with "lib" to an executable? For example, if I have a library named foo.a with a function called getnum, how do I link to foo.a in CMakeLists.txt?
If my executable file is
---main.cpp---
extern int getnum();
int main(int, char**) { cout << getnum() << endl;}
----------------
and my CMakeFile is
---CMakeLists.txt---
PROJECT(TESTPROJECT)
ADD_EXECUTABLE(test main.cpp foo.a)
-----------------------
I'll get an error about an undefined reference to getnum when I run the makefile.
If I use TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(test foo), I'll get an error about not begin able to find the library, since it's using the -l flag for the linker. I'd rather not have to rename foo.a, because it will affect other existing software.
Thanks,
-Ed
