In CMake `master` we now support `$<TARGET_OBJECTS:...>` in `install(FILES)` and also support installing object libraries directly via `install(TARGETS)` with an `OBJECTS DESTINATION`. This will be in CMake 3.9. Please try it out. One problem for your use case is that the object file names are still controlled by the generator. You may need a custom step with `install(SCRIPT)` or `install(CODE)` to fix the names after installation. -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.
