<DIV><SPAN class=935155213-04102004><FONT face=Arial size=2>On HPUX the linker
accepts library names with the -l<name> parameter. It requires library
filenames to start with "lib" and end with either ".a" or ".sl". The linker will
then automatically try to locate lib<name>.sl and lib<name>.a. For
the exceptions, where the library filename does not start with "lib" and/or
doesn't end with ".sl" or ".a", the linker also accepts -l:<filename>
where filename can be any valid filename. I happen to have to link to a third
party library with the name ToolKit.sl. I therefore need to add -l:ToolKit.sl to
the linker command-line. So I added "<libdir>/:ToolKit.sl" to the link
list. But CMake changes this into -L<libdir> -l:ToolKit and always strips
the ending .sl from the name. This makes the linker line invalid as the
<filename> should be the complete path. I also tried to add
":<libdir>/ToolKit.sl", but that ended up in -L<libdir> -lToolKit
with both the : and .sl being stripped by CMake.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
