Hey all,

I have the following two statements in one of my CMakeLists files:

LINK_LIBRARIES (elec_dose <other libraries>)
ADD_EXECUTABLE (elec_dose <source files>)

so there is a library named elec_dose that I am trying to link into my =
application which is also named elec_dose. During the link phase, I get =
errors about undefined symbols because apparently CMake is not giving =
the appropriate -lelec_dose flag to the linker. I tried changing the =
syntax to use the TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES command, but still I get the =
same problem, so the only way around it is to change the name of either =
the app or the library. That's not really an option for me though, =
because the code isn't mine to change; I'm just trying to automate the =
build process with CMake. This occurs with v1.2,  v1.4, and v1.6 of =
CMake, so unless it's been very recently fixed in CVS, it seems like it =
might be a bug. Can anyone else replicate this?

Best regards,
Parag Chandra
