Summary0000613: Can't change linker flags on MSVC
DescriptionAttempting to locally modify the library link options using

 SET ( CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS} WIBBLE" )
 SET ( CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS} WIBBLE" )

ADD_LIBRARY(Hello hello.cxx)
 MESSAGE("${CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS}")

Running cmake (1.8.3), the message output confirms that the variable has been set. But checking for any output containing WIBBLE in the binary tree
grep -r WIBBLE *
returns nothing.

I am using a MSVC6.0 target, and have tested this in both the VXL build tree and the Example build tree from the CMake CVS distribution.
TagsNo tags attached.

 I have evidence from the VXL dashboard that the same problem happens on MSVC.NET. As it happens I am trying to suppress warnings on a MSVC7.0 and 7.1 build, so it is the MSVC.NET target that I am more interested in seeing fixed.

Thanks,
Ian.

 It might be more appropriate to fix bug 629 first.

 This is because static libraries to not run the linker, so there are no linker flags.
