Summary0012124: Need per configuration version of target_link_libraries() or fix IMPORTED_LOCATION to allow empty string
DescriptionSee http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2011-April/044059.html [^] for full details.

I want to use target_link_libraries() to add a library dependency but only for my custom configuration called DebugPthreads. As target_link_libraries() doesn't support that functionality I tried specifying the dependency as an imported library so that I could set its location using the IMPORTED_LOCATION_DEBUGPTHREADS property. That works for the DebugPthreads configuration but there is no way to set an empty string or otherwise disable the imported library for the other configurations.
Steps To Reproducen/a
Additional InformationI'm using cmake 2.8.2 and Visual Studio 2008.

Not enough time left to address this issue before the 2.8.6 release. Deferred until a future release.

Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
