Hello Clint, Thanks for your response. I am still not able to link all the dependent libraries to the desired target. My scenario is little bit different. In my case A, B and C all are static lib(no exe's). So what I am doing in the cmake file is: add_dependencies(A,B,C) target_link_libraries(A,B,C)
but i don't see any change in the size of A (so B and C is not linked in). So, when i copy only A to my target directory, the symbols from B and C are not found any help is greatly appreciated.
