[CMake] Digital Mars

[James Mansion]

Do you actually need to add -L?

I think if you have:

link a.obj c:\foo bar.lib

(and c:\foo is a directory)

then it will look for bar.lib in c:\foo.

Haven't tried myself, but recently I recall seeing the thread started here:
http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?c%2B%2B.command-line/639

and in http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?c%2B%2B.command-line/643:

>link <link flags> <objects>,<exename>,<mapfile>,lib1 lib2 \my\lib\path\ 
>lib3 lib4 lib5,<def file>,<res file>

I did this using a small perl script to wrap around the linker, and I
managed to get things working using NMake as the make program (so I
didn't need to write a generator).

However, I'm having a lot of pain compiling vxl with it (which was my
original intent). My current reaction is that Digital Mars is not
complete enough to make vxl work easily, so I'm dropping the issue for
now.

That said, I think I did manage to resolve the CMake-Digital Mars
interface, so if someone feels the urge to see what I did to get that
done, I can describe it in more detail.

Cheers,
Amitha.
