[Cmake] Re: control of order of libs

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Bill and David,

Let say you are trying to do libFoo.a which contains libBar.a.

Can't you just do

ar cr libFoo.a foo.o libBar.a

If that is the case, then try this:

SET(LIB_SUFFIX "a")
SET(LIB_PREFIX "lib")
IF(WIN32)
  IF(NOT CYGWIN)
    SET(LIB_PREFIX "")
    SET(LIB_SUFFIX ".lib")
  ENDIF(NOT CYGWIN)
ENDIF(WIN32)

ADD_LIBRARY(Bar bar.cxx)
ADD_LIBRARY(Foo foo.o ${BINARY_PATH}/${LIB_PREFIX}Bar${LIB_SUFFIX})
SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(
${BINARY_PATH}/${LIB_PREFIX}Bar${LIB_SUFFIX} GENERATED)

Huh, if this works, let us know.

If this does not work, you can always do custom command tricks.
