[cmake-developers] An option to set LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES to empty on all shared library targets?

[Stephen Kelly]

Hi,

In KDE we set the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES to empty in a wrapper around 
add_library. The reason is to reduce the number of libraries which are 
linked to by default - developers have to be explicit about what is in the 
LINK_INTERFACE.

I was considering patching CMake to do that by setting an option.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.buildsystem/6622/focus=72030

Would such a feature of making 

set(CMAKE_SET_LINK_INTERFACE_EMPTY ON)

cause the LINK_INTERFACE to be empty for all shared library targets be 
accepted into CMake?

Thanks,

Steve.
