The FindPkgConfig.cmake module looks broken too, it assumes that

is equivalent to
-L/A -L/B -la -lb
I don't see where the above would fail.
To get fully resolved paths, I think it needs to do something like what
is in my FindPETSc.cmake. PkgConfig defines PREFIX_STATIC_* which is
good, but this means that whoever is writing the FindXXX module needs to
branch on whether the libs they search for are actually resolving to
static libs. This *always* needs to be done, but it's not done in the
modules included with CMake (FindLibXslt and FindLibXml2).
So, exactly what are you proposing?
Here is what I understand:
- If you link to a static library, you need to link to all static
libraries that that library uses in the correct order.
That information is stored in several places:
- pkg-config
- in makefiles distributed with the project
- other config files?
- cmake projects support the export and import of depend info on libraries
To me this a very library specific issue do you have some general way to
solve this problem? What tools/functions would you like to see in CMake
to address this issue?
