Hello CMake-developers!
In one of the LLVM sub-projects we have a problem where we need to install
object files, which doesn't seem like a particularly easy task. I'm curious if
anyone has any advice on how to approach this problem.
The patch is currently being reviewed here:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D28791 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D28791>
Since the object files have fairly simple compile commands our current approach
is to compile the files in custom commands, then use install(FILES...). This is
workable, but I'm wondering if there is a better way. They do need to be object
files, static archives would not work because these specially named files are
handled by linkers and other tools that we don't control.
Thank you!
-Chris
