I am looking for a way to set global flags for the librarian when creating static libraries, similar to CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS or CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS. This would facilitate things like using 3rd party libraries that already use cmake without having to modify their CMakeLists.txt to set these flags.<div>
<div><br></div><div>I found <a href="http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10094">http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10094</a> which mentions using CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS as well as this fairly old thread <a href="http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2009-October/032563.html">http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2009-October/032563.html</a> also mentioning this.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Has there been any progress on this feature?<br>If not, does a feature that exposes a CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS (and CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS_<TARGET>) which are then passed to the librarian (ar, lib.exe etx) make sense? I think this would be quite useful, especially for those of us that use cmake with visual studio.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I would like to get the lists input, and if it is positive I would be interested in creating a patch to add this functionality.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div>
