Re: [CMake] Building library with a collection of source + pre-existing object files (which are not compiled via the cmake build system)

You should be able to list your object files like regular source files. If they have known object file extensions they should be detected as such (.obj, .o, .lo). Otherwise you can try setting the EXTERNAL_OBJECT[1] source file property for them.
