Hi. I've always thought one of the main objectives of cmake was being portable, right? So I was looking for a way to let the user (i.e. the person building a project) choose how he wan't to link each external library (i.e. not the ones built as targets by my project), depending on what that lib supports and (when my own code supports it:) dynamically loaded via e.g. dlopen.
But it seems that I cannot even tell CMake (in a portable way) that it should use static or dynamic linking for some external lib (not to talk about the core libs like libc or libstdc++). Of course I can work around this any manually search for e.g. .so and .a files... but that woudln't be portable anymore... not to talk about different linkage options per linker... so ideally CMake should (IMHO) take care of all this (for each supported platform/linker). Am I missing something? Or is that just som major deficiency in the portable-part?
