Summary0010554: CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG has no effect in Visual Studio 2008 generator
DescriptionAttempting to locally modify the library link options using

 SET ( CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS} /machine:x64" )
 SET ( CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS} /machine:x64" )

ADD_LIBRARY(Hello hello.cxx)

Does not generate the line "AdditionalOptions" in the .vcproj . This line is however generated for executables (add_executable and CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS)

The expected behavior in this case would be to add "AdditionalOptions" = "/machine:x64" (or whatever is in CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS) in the section
<Tool Name="VCLibrarianTool" ...> of the .vcproj

(This also applies for LINK_FLAGS of SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES)

I think this issue is related to bug 0000613.

As weird as it may sound, MS Visual C++ can need some options to be passed to its "library" tool (lib.exe) when generating libs.

TagsNo tags attached.

 Found a workaround:

set_target_properties(${name} PROPERTIES STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS "${CMAKE_XXX_LINKER_FLAGS}") did the trick.

However, I'm not sure if the behavior described in the previous message should or should not be implemented nevertheless...

 Are you sure you're testing with a SHARED library?

By default, CMake will be using a static library for add_library, so there's nothing to "link" with CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS or CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS...

What happens if you do the following (add the "SHARED" flag)?
  SET ( CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS} /machine:x64" )
  SET ( CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS} /machine:x64" )
  ADD_LIBRARY(Hello SHARED hello.cxx)

 Sending old, not-recently-updated issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug alone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
