[CMake] IMPORTED_LOCATION

[Micha Renner]

Hello, 

I have two questions for the listening below.

1. Out-commenting the line #4
results in a linker error LINK : fatal error LNK1104: File
"_sLib-NOTFOUND.obj" can't be opened"

What is the purpose of this command (line #4)?

2. If line #4 is active. An inspection of the project properties (link
-> command line) shows in the implib-section the following result:
/IMPLIB:"C:\WORK-C\ArchiveCMake\CMakeListsNeu\BuildDLL-2\TestDLL\CMake
\Debug\TestDll2.lib" /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT kernel32.lib user32.lib
gdi32.lib winspool.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib 
oleaut32.lib uuid.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib  
\WORK-C\ArchiveCMake\CMakeListsNeu\BuildDLL-2\DLL\CMake\Debug\SLib.lib

For what reason is there a TestDll2.lib?

Michael
