[CMake] Re: cmake question

[Bill Hoffman]

The CMake mailing list would be the place to discuss this.
I suppose you have two choices:

1. use an ifdef in A for the declspec stuff.

A IMPORT_EXPORT_MACRO 

Then if you are building something.dll you could build the
sources for A in such a way that IMPORT_EXPORT_MACRO is defined
to nothing, then use the .def file as you have.

2. You should be able to only include the B stuff in the .def file
and use the declspec stuff for the A stuff.
