There doesn't seem to be a command line switch for this, because the compiler/linker can't know the dependencies when called independently. (see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=83916&SiteID=1). So you can't use ADD_DEFINITIONS or similar to set this option from CMake.

But I don't really see the purpose here, because this kind of thing is exactly what CMake does for you. If you call TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES with all the project names that you depend on, the needed libs are linked to the project and you should also end up with the correct dependencies. So this is perhaps the other way round as to specify only the dependencies and let the linking be done automatically - should be equal work, though :-)

Hi Bill

I opened the .vcproj file being generated for my project in edit
mode.Below is the section where the link library dependencies flag is
being set:

<Tool
        Name="VCLibrarianTool"
        LinkLibraryDependencies="false"
        OutputFile="E:\Nightly Build\Visual Studio 8
2005MT\core\client_library\output\MT\$(OutDir)\sntlsp_lsadmin.lib"
/>
Note that I want to set this " LinkLibraryDependencies " flag to true
using CMake. How can I achieve that?

Thanks and Regards

Hi

I have created a .sln (for VS 2005) using Cmake.In the sln, Project Properties->Configuration Properties->Librarian->Link Library Dependencies flag is by default set to NO. I want to set this flag
value
to YES using Cmake. How can this be achieved? I require this flag to
be
YES so that the library outputs from project dependencies are automatically linked in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

in Advance

Can you figure out what the command line flag is for this?  Just turn it

on by hand and go to command line and see what changed. You should be able to use that command line flag.
