I am new to CMake and the documentation is rather difficult to digest.... I have a small program that uses SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) and it runs in both Linux and FreeBSD. The problem is that in linux I have to add the sctp library (i.e. -lsctp) if not compilation fails and in FreeBSD adding that library would cause the compiler to complain. if there is a better way to do this I am eager to learn it. regards, Horacio > -- > Mihai RUSU Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > "Linux is obsolete" -- AST > > > _______________________________________________ > CMake mailing list > CMake@cmake.org > http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake > _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
