[CMake] how to use CMAKE_LINK_DEF_FILE_FLAG

[Cees Wesseling]

I am trying to build a C++ Windows dll that must use a linker definition
file with the exports using cmake version 2.4-patch 7 for Visual Studio
2005 in nmake Makefile mode.

 

What I have tried is the following bare CMakeLists.txt:

 

SET (CMAKE_LINK_DEF_FILE_FLAG "/DEF:dll.def")

ADD_LIBRARY(Test

  SHARED

  InProcServer.cc

)

 

The dll builds fine, but has no entry points. In the resulting Makefile
I do not find any mentioning of the DEF linker flag. And from inspecting
Modules/Platform/Windows-cl.cmake of the cmake distro I am getting
suspicious if the CMAKE_LINK_DEF_FILE_FLAG is ever rolled into the link
options.

 

Am I overlooking something obvious? Is there another way to push this
flag into the link options?

 

Thanks, Cees
