I have a question concerning the transitive linking of dependence and static libs.
I'm working a on prokect where some shared lib are linked to static lib (do not ask me why). So I do: set(CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE True) then I have a bunch of libraries (either static or shared) which depends on each other. I use PRIVATE and PUBLIC specification with target_link_librairies. Now I expected that the transitive link properties would be fullfilled simply i.e. that when some target LIB1 is PRIVATEly link against say pthread. Then if a another lib LIB2 is linked against LIB1 then then "pthread" wouldn't be dragged into the link interface of LIB2. It seems that this is not as simple as I thought and as soon as LIB1 is static then LIB2 gets the dependency (be it PRIVATE or PUBLIC)... Find attached a small example. Is this a bug, a feature or something I didn't catch? -- Eric
