[Cmake] RE: [Bug 629] Changed - SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( LINK_FLAGS) doesn't work on libraries

[Ian Scott]

I want to add an option to the library creation step. On MSVC this is =
the "lib" program.

Is there any existing way of doing this?

If not I suspect that
ADD_LIBRARY( foo ...)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( foo PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS "wibble")
is a pretty sensible syntax. Although I understand that it isn't =
strictly linking.

Should I re submit this as a feature request?

Ian.
