[cmake-developers] target_link_libraries and --start-group/--end-group ?

[Robert Goulet]

Hi,

My project needs to link with an external library which actually consist of a set of libraries. Adding these libs using target_link_libraries should be working just fine but unfortunately these libs have a bunch of circular dependencies, so it fails. In the makefile, we link with these libs using this syntax:

-Wl,--start-group ...libs... -Wl,--end-group

...so that the linker is able to correctly find all symbols. What's the proper way to deal with this using CMake? I tried to add the group flags to target_link_libraries but it does not work. Thanks!
