[CMake] static library linking

[Steven Van Ingelgem]

Hmmm?


I don't seem to be able to make it link correctly?

I do:
set_property(TARGET ${SUB_PROJECT} PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION ${PTHREAD}
${RT} ${LIBC})

But it's still somehow linking wrongly :(...

What would be the correct line for this?


The weird thing is... When I turn it off (the linking), it still tries to
link against pthread, rt & libc... I have no idea why? Doesn't it regenerate
the makefiles when you modify the CMakeLists.txt?


Thanks
