And I thought I was being clever :-) It turns out that GenerateExportHeader uses check_cxx_compiler_flag, which greps the output of the compiler for text like "unknown .*option" or "unrecognized .*option". Given the *other* unknown option, it finds this output and concludes that -fvisibility=hidden is unsupported. This happens entirely independently of the CMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET and CMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN options that actually set those flags on the compiler command line. So there are a couple of interacting issues here: check_cxx_compiler_flag is fragile in the face of unrelated unknown options, and the mechanism for deciding whether to add -fvisibility=hidden to the command line is different to the mechanism for deciding whether to put export symbols into the library.
