[CMake] Can I determine what a target is in a macro?

[David Cole]

The target property TYPE tells you what the type of the library is:

  http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#prop_tgt:TYPE

Use:

  get_property(type TARGET ${SOME_TARGET} PROPERTY TYPE)
  message("type='${type}'")

to retrieve the value of the TYPE property.

HTH,
David
