[CMake] Have an export file split in 2 parts? Need caused by a cmake bug?

[Alexandre.Feblot at thomsonreuters.com]

Hi,

 

I need to export() some libraries, but I need to have the part

 

ADD_LIBRARY(xxxx STATIC IMPORTED)

 

and the part

 

SET_PROPERTY(TARGET xxxx APPEND PROPERTY IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS
RELEASE)

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(xxxx PROPERTIES

  IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_RELEASE "yyyy;zzzz"

  IMPORTED_LOCATION_RELEASE "/path/to/libxxxx.a"

  )

 

in different files, so that I can first add all libraries, and then set
all their properties.

 

How can I do that?

 

WARNING: exporting all libs in a single export file is NOT an option: I
may have to import later some of these libs, but not all of them, so
each of them must have it's own export file.

 

ROOT CAUSE of the question: when importing a number of libs (which
reference each other in the IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES) using the
standard export files generated by cmake, it seems that libs found in
the IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES are not taken into account if they
have not been imported at that time (they are just understood as
different targets not known in the project, leading to a -l<name> in the
final link line).

This is not the case with usual targets which can be referenced in some
cmake files before they have actually been created.

Is this a bug, or it wanted, and why?

 

 

 

Regards,

Alexandre
