The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15539 ====================================================================== Reported By: Mathieu Malaterre Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15539 Category: CMake Reproducibility: have not tried Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-04-29 06:27 EDT Last Modified: 2015-04-29 06:27 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY for MODULE Description: As per documentation for LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, we have:
$ cmake --help-property LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY [...] For DLL platforms the DLL part of a shared library is treated as a runtime target and the corresponding import library is treated as an archive target. [...] And $ cmake --help-command add_library [...] ``MODULE`` libraries are plugins that are not linked into other targets but may be loaded dynamically at runtime using dlopen-like functionality. [...] However using the following simple demo project: $ cat foo.c __declspec( dllexport ) int foo() { return 42; } $ cat CMakeLists.txt project(demo) set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/dll_part) set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib_part) add_library(foo_shared SHARED foo.c) add_library(foo_module MODULE foo.c) After compilation leads to: $ find . -name \*.dll ./lib_part/foo_module.dll ./dll_part/foo_shared.dll Which means: 1. Either MODULE is not a library since it's dll part is generated in `LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`, which imply the documentation is inaccurate 2. Or MODULE is indeed a library, but there is a bug in cmake where the dll part of the library is generated in the `LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` path. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2015-04-29 06:27 Mathieu MalaterreNew Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
