Hi Tom, linking the static archive into the DLL should not be done by add_dependencies(), but by target_link_libraries(). There, you can explicitly list the archive as PRIVATE so that it does not become a part of the linking interface of the DLL:
add_library(staticArchive STATIC ...) add_library(theDLL SHARED ...) target_link_libraries(theDLL PRIVATE staticArchive) Petr On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 3:34 PM, Tom Kacvinsky <tom.kacvin...@vectorcast.com > wrote: > I am getting link errors because cmake is adding transitive > dependencies.
