Hi Bill,<br><br>When you invoke find_library, FOO is created as a cache entry. As long as FOO has a value (i.e., not FOO_NOTFOUND) find_library will not refresh its contents on succesive runs of cmake. If you unset(FOO CACHE) and rerun cmake, then the foo library will be searched for again.<br>
Is this a good enough solution for your situation?<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Adolfo<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 9:55 PM, Bill O'Hara <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:billtohara@gmail.com">billtohara@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

add_executable(bar bar.c)<br>target_link_libraries(bar ${FOO})<br>add_test(test_bar bar)<br><br>then I run cmake, FOO is filled in with the located library from /tmp/b, and I run make all;make test. All is good. If I change /tmp/b/libfoo.a then when I run make test the executable is relinked before I execute it. All is good again.<br>
<br>Now lets say a newer copy of the library appears in /tmp/a. <br><br>When I run make test, what I'd like to happen is that we notice it has appeared, and relink against it because we prefer to use /tmp/a/libfoo.a if it exists (hence the order in the find_library).<br>
<br>Is there a way to make that happen? I think if I wrote a raw makefile I could do this with vpaths or somesuch and still get the dependency checking ok. Is there a way with cmake?<br><br>Thanks<br><font color="#888888">b.<br>
