[CMake] RE: Bug in GET_TARGET_PROPERTY? (was CMAKE_CONFIG_POSTFIX vs GET_TARGET_PROPERTY(FILE foo LOCATION) )

[Josef Karthauser]

Whoops, I forgot the cmake output:

 

Lib is called: C:/Devel/SVN/trunk/build/test/qqq/Hello/Hello.lib

 

Vs nmake output:

 

Linking CXX static library Hello_d.lib

It wasn't just the office party talking, I've rechecked today and it
definitely isn't working as I'd expect:

 

SET(CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX "_d")

Project(Hello)

add_library (Hello hello.cxx hello.h)

get_target_property(FILE Hello LOCATION)

message("Lib is called: ${FILE}")

 

Run cmake on this and I get the output:

 

$ nmake

 

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.762

[100%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/Hello.dir/hello.obj

hello.cxx

Linking CXX static library Hello_d.lib

[100%] Built target Hello

 

Am I misunderstanding the usage of get_target_property or is there a bug
here?

Am I going mad? (could be, it was the office party last night).

 

I want to add a '_d' to the end of debug libraries, which it appears
that I can do using something like:

 

SET(CMAKE_DEBUG_WIN32_POSTFIX "_d" CACHE INTERNAL "Postfix for debug
library names" FORCE)

 

Later deep in some macros the code wants to find the filename associated
with a given library:

 

     GET_TARGET_PROPERTY(FILE ${LIBNAME} LOCATION)

 

Strangely, although the build makes a 'LIBNAME_d.lib' library, the get
target property appears to return the name of the library without the
_d.

 

Am I hallucinating?

 

Joe

 

p.s. this is with 2.4.7.
