[Cmake] How to turn of incremental linking

[Miller, James V (CRD)]

Thanks for adding the CMAKE_EXTRA_LINK_FLAGS. It is what I needed.
 
It looks as though I need to set "/incremental:no /pdb:none" in order to get Insight to build Debug
under Intel C++ 5.0

Until about 5 minutes ago, you could not.

If you update cmake, and add the option to this flag:
CMAKE_EXTRA_LINK_FLAGS.

It should fix the problem.

The default is "ON".  I think I need to add /INCREMENTAL:NO to the link flags to turn off incremental
linking.  Unfortunately, 
I cannot see a way in CMake to set linker options.  I found the CXX options in the CMakeCache.txt and
putting /INCREMENTAL:NO there puts in the compile line but not on the link line.
 
I think it needs to go in the DSP as 
 
# ADD LINK32 /INCREMENTAL:NO
 
Can I do this in CMake?

It may just be a default.  I don't see where we set it. 

You should do a diff on the dsp file before and after you disable it with 

the GUI and see what has to change.

I am trying to build a project with the Intel C++ compiler with debug information.  Occasionally, the
link will fail with an internal error.  When it fails, I can clean the particular project (just the
exe, the supporting libraries are not rebuilt) and reproduce the error.  If I toggle "incremental
linking" in DevStudio, the link will succeed. So the debug information for the exe is confusing the
linker when incremental linking is used. 



How can I specify that incremental linking should not be used for a particular build?  Is this
something that I can set in the CMakeCache?
