Hi,
I am using the nice feature of exporting targets from one CMake project to
another. This works really nicely since it avoids explicitly linking my
executables and shared libraries with the dependent libraries of the imported
library target. The problem is that imported library is linked with its full
installation path using the value of property IMPORTED_LOCATION, which is
generated when installing the exports. This implies that I cannot relocate the
installation of the project that is exporting the targets. Is there a way to
tell CMake to use only the library name for the imported library targets?
In other words and with a little example
add_library(bar SHARED IMPORTED)
set_property(TARGET bar APPEND PROPERTY IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS NOCONFIG)
set_target_properties( bar PROPERTIES
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_NOCONFIG "A;B;C"
IMPORTED_LOCATION_NOCONFIG "/tmp/absolute/path/to/libbar.so"
IMPORTED_SONAME_NOCONFIG "libbar.so"
)
add_library(foo SHARED foo.cxx)
target_link_libraries(foo bar)
this gives the following link statement
Linking CXX shared library libfoo.so
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/CMake/2.6.4/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/bin/cmake -E
cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/foo.dir/link.txt --verbose=1
/usr/bin/c++ -fPIC -shared -Wl,-soname,libfoo.so -o libfoo.so
CMakeFiles/foo.dir/foo.o -L/tmp/absolute/path/to
/tmp/absolute/path/to/libbar.so -lA -lB -lC -Wl,-rpath,/tmp/absolute/path/to
The question is how can I tell CMake to produce -lbar instead of
/tmp/absolute/path/to/libbar.so?
I am using CMake version 2.6-patch 4.
