<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:Courier New, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>For a static library target, I used TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES and LINK_DIRECTORIES to link with a third party library. As we can see that in cmake, this linking information is propagated and used only in an executable/shared library target which depends on the former static library. But the issue is that only the TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES is propagated and not the LINK_DIRECTORIES. This fails the linking of the executable/shared library target because it could not find the third party library.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I found this problem when generating for visual studio 2005. The problem might be there in other platforms also.</div><div><br></div><div> I feel that this behavior is an issue. Or am I missing something? Please let me
know.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Arun</div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
