[CMake] Build multiple lib

[David Cole]

If your goal is to link an executable to MainLib.lib, and MainLib.lib only,
then please add all the sources directly to the add_library(MainLib STATIC
...) call.

That is the easiest, most logical way to accomplish that task.

If it's something else, then elaborate with more details. Perhaps somebody
else will chime in if they have another good suggestion...

CMake does not directly support "convenience libs" -- search the mailing
list archives. This subject has had much discussion over the years.

Add all the sources to one library if that's what you want.....


HTH,
David
