Hi all,
I would like to report a bug which I found in CMake 3.6.0-rc1. However, it is also present in release 3.5.2 and probably earlier releases as well.
Description:
The generated rule in rules.ninja for linking static libraries contains the command for actual linking and an additional command ": $TARGET_FILE". This works fine on linux but fails on windows (":" is not a valid command). This additional command arises (for c++) from the CMAKE_CXX_ARCHIVE_FINISH variable which is added to the rule in cmNinjaNormalTargetGenerator::ComputeLinkCmd(). I did not find out where the variable is set.
But I found a work around which is to set the CMAKE_CXX_ARCHIVE_FINISH variable to empty in my CMakeLists.txt. If I do that everything works fine. A general solution in 3.6.0 would be great.
regards
Michael
