Summary0003795: Xcode and library search paths
DescriptionWhen I build my Xcode project with CMake and then compile i get the
following warning:

Tool:0: warning -L: directory name (/usr/local/lib/Debug) does not exist

It looks like CMake adds the entry: /usr/local/lib/$(CONFIGURATION) to the
Library Search Path for all targets (executables & libraries) even though the directory doesn't exist.

The warning only appears when the executables are built; the libraries
have the same entry in their Library Search Path but doesn't generate
warnings.

This is part of Brad Kings answer from the cmake mail list to the issue:

"CMake adds a $(CONFIGURATION) version of every link directory in case it
is referring to another Xcode build tree in which the libraries are
stored in these per-configuration subdirectories. We were not aware
that this produced a warning."

yes it is. cmake 2.8.0; an option would be appreciated to suppress these spurious entries to keep our build logs clean. thanks!

This would be very difficult to fix without breaking something. The trouble is at CMake time many of the directories do not exist, and Xcode will be creating them. So, if we just check for existence at CMake time, we would leave of directories that get created later by Xcode and are needed.
