In that case I do not think we can justify a special CMake target type for it. All the special cases for STATIC_LIBRARY targets will have to be updated to also account for the new type with no difference in logic. Can't this work with a simple explicit property? Just put $<$<BOOL:$<TARGET_PROPERTY:QT_STATICPLUGIN>>:QT_STATICPLUGIN> in Qt5::Core's INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and then add_library(mystatic_library STATIC foo.cpp) set_property(TARGET mystatic_library PROPERTY QT_STATICPLUGIN 1) target_link_libraries(mystatic_library Qt5::Core) -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
