Summary0006629: /DELAYLOAD additional linker option not supported
DescriptionI am using this command in my CMakeLists.txt file to add the /DELAYLOAD linker option:

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(target PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS "/DELAYLOAD:some.dll")

However since upgrading to cmake-2.4 this additional option no longer appears in the VS project file.

From debugging cmake, it appears the problem is in cmLocalVisualStudio7GeneratorOptions::HandleFlag. This assumes that any option starting with /D is a preprocessor definition, which of course is not applicable to the linker. The /DELAYLOAD:some.dll option is then removed and does not get added to the generated project file.

I can confirm this issue. I went to use this flag a month ago on a new project that needed the flag and noticed the problem.

The bug doesn't exist in CMake CVS so you could try building with that. There are nightly win32 builds available here:

Also, I believe CMake 2.4.6 may be unaffected by this.

OK, 2.6.0 does not have this problem. I recommend moving to 2.6.0 (currently in beta.)

2.4.8 is the end of the 2.4.X line, this is fixed in 2.6
