Ok, Philip Lowman. I'd like to give you some details:


$ cmake --version
cmake version 2.6-patch 2

$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/usr ..
<Everything goes well, snip the details.>

$ make
<Everything goes well, snip the details.>

Now, as you see, the link also exists. I can't delete it automatically.

The lib core's CMakeLists.txt I wrote like this:
SET(LIBFREERECITECORE_SRC ConfigHolder.cpp DictItem.cpp Reciter.cpp 
ForgetCurve.cpp Task.cpp Dict.cpp Manager.cpp WordList.cpp)

ADD_LIBRARY(FreeReciteCore SHARED ${LIBFREERECITECORE_SRC})

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(FreeReciteCore PROPERTIES VERSION 1.0 SOVERSION 1.0)
INSTALL(TARGETS FreeReciteCore LIBRARY DESTINATION lib)

Is there something wrong? And I don't know why "make install" will 
create the links for
the library. They do nothing for me. Can I avoid it?

Thank you, very much!
