Hi,

I'm trying to build a library.  I have created 2 options, in order to
allow static or dynamic linking in a CMakeLists.txt file .

# Settings for building a dynamic library (.so/.dll)
 OPTION(BUILD_DYNAMIC "Build EML as a dynamic library (Default)." ON)
 IF( BUILD_DYNAMIC)
   ADD_LIBRARY(eml-dynamic SHARED ${eml_SRCS})
   SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(eml-dynamic
     PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME eml LINK_FLAGS "${XNPOSIX_USER_LDFLAGS}"
     CLEAN_DIRECT_OUTPUT 1)
   INSTALL_TARGETS(/lib eml-dynamic)
 ENDIF (BUILD_DYNAMIC)

 # Settings for building a static library (.a)
 OPTION(BUILD_STATIC "Build EML as a static library." OFF)
 IF ( BUILD_STATIC )
   ADD_LIBRARY(eml-static STATIC ${eml_SRCS})
   SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(eml-static
     PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME eml LINK_FLAGS "${XNPOSIX_USER_LDFLAGS}"
     CLEAN_DIRECT_OUTPUT 1)
   INSTALL_TARGETS(/lib eml-static)
 ENDIF ( BUILD_STATIC )


The ${XNPOSIX_USER_LDFLAGS} variable actually expands to a shell
command

/root/install/xenomai-trunk-2.4.33-ipipe-1.2-08//bin/xeno-config --posix-ldflags

Is that really true, or is that command surrounded by "`" symbols?


Executing it results in
# /root/install/xenomai-trunk-2.4.33-ipipe-1.2-08//bin/xeno-config --posix-ldflags
-Wl,@/root/install/xenomai-trunk-2.4.33-ipipe-1.2-08/lib/posix.wrappers
-L/root/install/xenomai-trunk-2.4.33-ipipe-1.2-08/lib -lpthread_rt -lpthread -lrt -rdynamic

Trying to build the static library works out just fine,  it results in
[...]
cd /root/SVN/eml-trunk/buildclean/tests/rtnet && /usr/bin/g++-3.4
-fPIC `/root/install/xenomai-trunk-2.4.33-ipipe-1.2-08//bin/xen\

-Wl,-rpath,/root/install/xenom\
ai-trunk-2.4.33-ipipe-1.2-08/lib:/root/SVN/eml-trunk/buildclean/src

However, when trying to compile the dynamic version and invoking make,
I get a build error:

[...]
cd /root/SVN/eml-trunk/buildclean/src && /usr/bin/cmake -E
cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/eml-dynamic.dir/link.txt --verbose=1

-L/root/install/xenomai-trunk-2.4.33-ipipe-1.2-08/lib
g++-3.4:
`/root/install/xenomai-trunk-2.4.33-ipipe-1.2-08//bin/xeno-config: No
such file or directory

Instead of _evaluating_ the xeno-config command, g++ is apparently looking for a file with the name
`/root/install/xenomai-trunk-2.4.33-ipipe-1.2-08//bin/xeno-config
which it obviously doesn't find.

Cutting and pasting the above command to the command line works out
fine and a second make then succeeds.

Can anyone guess what I did wrong here?

I am not sure, but one thing I noticed is that your static build did the
line continuation correctly, i.e.,

...ipipe-1.2-08//bin/xen\

while your dynamic build did not

...1.2-08//bin/xeno-config

(note, no trailing "\" to continue to the next line).  So your starting "`"
for the dynamic library build had no trailing matching "`" which lead to the
peculiar error message.

So assuming that ${XNPOSIX_USER_LDFLAGS} is a shell command surrounded by
"`" (so that the command will be executed and its results used for linking
flags), then I think the question boils down to why is the line continuation
screwed up (apparently by CMake) for the dynamic library case?  This might
well be some obscure CMake bug, but I am not sufficiently familiar with
the CMake internals to know for sure.
