Bill, thanks for this.
I'm afraid this doesn't quite address my problem.

Your example will created lib A, which includes B and C only because A is a
shared library. I need to produce A as a static library but have B and C
included inside it. If the SHARED keyword were removed, then A would not
include B and C. Instead, and executables compiled using A would have B and
C compiled into them at that link stage. If you need to supply someone with
library A and not burden them with also having to handle the other low level
libraries, this is awkward.

I do not need to compile up B and C myself as in your example - these are
libraries from a 3rd party.

Is it possible for me to pull in my libraries with ADD_LIBRARY rather than
with TARGET_LINK_LIBRARY?

Many thanks,

David
