Hi, What is the correct way of setting archiver (and flags) and linker (and flags) outside the CMakeLists.txt?
1) I am trying to use the following pattern: cmake -DCMAKE_AR="<path-to-ar>" -DCMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE="<linker path> <FLAGS> <CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS> <LINK_FLAGS> <OBJECTS> -o <TARGET> <LINK_LIBRARIES>" -DSTATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS="<flags>" -DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS="<flags>" -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="<flags>" Is that in general correct options to pass that information? Judging by documentation, they are. 2) However, I am getting the following warning: CMake Warning: Manually-specified variables were not used by the project: STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS (Also, in CMakeCache.txt this variable is UNINITIALIZED) If I am trying to use CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS, I get in the cache: //Path to a program. CMAKE_AR:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/ar ... //Flags used by the linker during the creation of static libraries. CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING=rcsD But the link command looks like: /usr/bin/ar qc libXXX.a rcsD file1.o .. filen.o /usr/bin/ranlib libz.a and I get the error: /usr/bin/ar: rcsD: No such file or directory Because the order of ar arguments is wrong, flags should come before "qc".
