Hello,
I am using CMake 2.6. I have the following problem with the generator set as
Visual Studio 8 2005.
The related statements in my CMakeLists file (Notice that the library and
runtime directories are in source directory explicitly:
ADD_LIBRARY(MyLib_Shared SHARED ${MyLib_sources} )
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(MyLib_Shared
PROPERTIES
RELEASE_POSTFIX _r
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${MYLIB_SOURCE_DIR}/lib
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${MYLIB_SOURCE_DIR}/lib
)
However, when I compile the project, <MyLib>_Shared_r.lib is not created in
the folder I specified : <sourcedir>/lib/release/MyLib_Shared_r.lib
It is instead created in the default directory in the build path, like
<builddir>/main/release/MyLib_Shared_r.lib.
However, The runtime outputs are correctly placed under the directory i
specified: <sourcedir>/lib/release, with name MyLib_Shared_r.dll .
Consequently, when I try to link this shared library from an application,
using TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( MyApp MyLib_Shared ), it incorrectly generates
a vs project file that tries to include
..\..\main\Release\MyLib_Shared_r.lib (thus a file not found error). It
should be <sourcedir>/lib/release/MyLib_Shared_r.lib, or
..\..\lib\Release\MyLib_Shared_r.lib
All I really want to do is to perform out-of-source builds of my library,
which creates libraries/binaries "inside" the source directory, which are
then linked by the applications within the source directory. I want the
binaries to be inside the source directory, since the source directory holds
some relatively large files that are loaded by the applications.
Am I missing an important point in my CMakeLists files, or is this a known /
fixed bug ?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
