[CMake] Cmake 2.2.2 with Visual Studio 6. .lib? .dll?

[Daniel Tourde]

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. I basically created a test project with Kdevelop 3.2.1 
under Linux. I slightly modified the CMakeLists.txt file according to the 
tips given by Alexander Neundorf and Filipe Sousa (see the few mails 
exchanged a few days ago, on the mailing list). Otherwise, I did not change 
anything. My idea is to prove the concept: Kdevelop project -> M$ VS6 via 
cmake 2.2.2.

If you want, I can send you the project in itself (two short C++ files, in 
fact). There is nothing strange: A library and a program written to use that 
library (the whole things producing a "Hello world!")

The dll gets built. I cannot give you much details, I am a Unixian, so to 
say... :) but I can assure you that there is no associated .lib.
