[CMake] Linking to a library with a "-"

[David Doria]

I'm using Fedora 10. The KDevelop3 and normal makefile generator produce the
same result.  CMake version: ccmake version 2.6-patch 3

My CMakeLists.txt file is:
--------------------------------------------------------
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)

Project(BoostProgramOptions)

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES} /home/doriad/src/boost)

LINK_DIRECTORIES(${LINK_DIRECTORIES} /home/doriad/bin/boost/lib)

ADD_EXECUTABLE(BoostProgramOptions BoostProgramOptions.cpp)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(BoostProgramOptions boost_program_options)

ADD_EXECUTABLE(MultipleLists MultipleLists.cpp)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(MultipleLists boost_program_options-mt)
--------------------------------------------------------

and the link.txt that is produced is:

--------------------------------------------------------
/usr/lib/ccache/c++     -fPIC
CMakeFiles/BoostProgramOptions.dir/BoostProgramOpt
ions.cpp.o  -o BoostProgramOptions -rdynamic -L/home/doriad/bin/boost/lib
-lboos
t_program_options -Wl,-rpath,/home/doriad/bin/boost/lib
--------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,

David
