Hi,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> I am using cmake version 3.1.3 on MacOSX 10.10.2. I want to build a SHARED library made exclusively of OBJECT libraries. This works well with the Makefile generator but fails with the Xcode generator.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> To reproduce the problem is very simple: </div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span></div>
<div class="">
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;" class="">cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.8 FATAL_ERROR)</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo; min-height: 13px;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;" class="">add_library(FooObjs OBJECT foo.cxx)</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;" class="">add_library(Foo SHARED $<TARGET_OBJECTS:FooObjs>)</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;" class="">add_executable(FooMain main.cxx)</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;" class="">target_link_libraries(FooMain Foo)</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;" class="">The library libFoo.dylib is never build. I can bypass the problem by adding a dummy.cxx file to the SHARED library, but I am not convinced this is the right solution.</div>
