[cmake-developers] Undocumented change in behavior in cmake 3.9.X (SWIG)

[Simon Lees]

Hi,

We at openSUSE have noticed a change in behavior presumably in
swig_link_libraries in one package cproton_perl.so is now being
generated rather then libcproton_perl.so I presume the lines generating
the library are below (I am not familiar with the package)

swig_add_module(cproton_perl perl perl.i)
swig_link_libraries(cproton_perl ${BINDING_DEPS} ${PERL_LIBRARY}
-lpthread -lm)

changing to the non depreciated swig_add_libraries caries this same
change. I have a full build log available at [1] and a build on my
system should you require more info.

I guess the question we have is was this change intentional and
accidentally undocumented (unless I missed it) or is there a deeper
issue with cmake that needs fixing here.

Thanks
