The VS and Xcode generators do not use those variables, but could be taught similar changes if this were to be a first-class feature. > I didn't investigate whether deeper changes within CMake would be needed > until the concept was somewhat-accepted. Actually having add_executable create something besides cmTarget::EXECUTABLE could cause other logic changes, even in project code that tests target types. Therefore we should probably delay the exe->lib mapping to be just in the actual link step as above. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
