| Summary | 0001643: FIND_LIBRARY needs to distinguish between shared and static libraries | ||||||||
| Description | At present, FIND_LIBRARY has a preference for pickup up shared libraries over static libraries. How about changing the signature from: FIND_LIBRARY(<var> NAMES name1 [name2 ...] .... to FIND_LIBRARY(<var> SHARED name1 [name2 ...] .... FIND_LIBRARY(<var> DYNAMIC name1 [name2 ...] .... The old signature should still be supported (to maintain compatability) and should explicity default to SHARED mode. | ||||||||

Bug 0001644 is related to this bug. Now that it is fixed the results of fixing this bug will actually work. |

This was brought up on the mailing list, again. There has to be a way to determine if a ".lib" file in Windows is shared or static. Even if there's not, VS could just be a noop when coming across the SHARED/STATIC keywords. |

We cannot easily determine whether a library is static or shared on windows. I suspect in most cases people want to use this to create static binaries on UNIX anyway. Instead of trying to create a documented signature that makes people think the command can find STATIC libraries on all platforms, I've taken a simpler approach. When searching for a library the command now tries the name given by the user as an explicit file name before trying prefixes and suffixes. One may now write find_library(MATH_LIBRARY NAMES libm.a) and end up with something like "/usr/lib/libm.a". This solution should be sufficient because static library names are very predictable. /cvsroot/CMake/CMake/Source/cmFindLibraryCommand.cxx,v <-- cmFindLibraryCommand.cxx new revision: 1.56; previous revision: 1.55 |
