[CMake] how to set ar/ranlib flags per target

[Verweij, Arjen]

Well the thread you reference asks the TS to submit a bug in Mantis. Was such a bug ever submitted?

I did a quick check and I can't find one using several queries.

No other ideas for fixing your problem except for wrapping add_library to include 32/64 bit argument.

Regards,
Arjen
