I am getting link errors because cmake is adding transitive dependencies. I am building a DLL which depends on a static archive (and is marked as such with add_dependencies), but when I link an executable that depends on the DLL, both libraries (import library for the DLL and static archive) are specified on the link. leading to duplicate symbol errors as the symbol are exported form the DLL and defined in the static archive.
How do I work around this? This is the one thing that has frustrated me over the last couple of years - I have never received an answer telling me how to turn off transitive dependencies.
