Hello I want to link a library to a custom target:
add_custom_command( OUTPUT ${FILE} DEPENDS ${SRC} COMMAND ${EXECUTABLE} ARGS ${SRC} COMMENT "Generating ${FILE}" VERBATIM) add_custom_target(mytarget ALL DEPENDS ${FILE}) target_link_libraries(mytarget /usr/local/lib/libmylib.so) But it don't seems to work instead I have to use: add_custom_command( OUTPUT ${FILE} DEPENDS ${SRC} COMMAND ${EXECUTABLE} ARGS ${SRC} ARGS -I${CPPLIB_INCLUDE_DIR} -L${CPPLIB_DIR} -lmylib COMMENT "Generating ${FILE}" VERBATIM) add_custom_target(mytarget ALL DEPENDS ${FILE}) Why is this so? Can't I use target_link_library with add_custom_target? Thnaks for clarification!
