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

[Robert Goulet]

Unfortunately I cannot do that, but I can tell you that the generated line in the .vcxproj file looks correct :

<AdditionalDependencies>android;dl;EGL;GLESv3;OpenSLES;-Wl,--start-group;libfoo.a;libbar.a;-Wl,--end-group</AdditionalDependencies>

So now I am guessing the problem is in the glue that adds support of Android to the VS IDE?
Where is the code that translate a link library into the command line, such as "libfoo.a" to "-lfoo"?

Thanks!

It is likely specific to that (new) generator.

Please post the .vcxproj file that is generated for that.

Thanks,
