[cmake-developers] Best way to append "--no-undefined" to shared link flags?

[Robert Dailey]

+CMake dev list

After googling I came up with this:


    set( CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS}
-Wl,--no-undefined" )

After talking more with the NDK devs on github though, they seem to
indicate this should happen by default (or at least, it does with the
CMake that ships with the NDK according to Dan Albert). Does
--no-defined get specified by default for other platforms? Or is it
just Android that isn't getting it?
