[CMake] TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS not set

[Nico Schlömer]

Hi all,

I'm having problems linking shared libraries on Ubuntu 12.10 beta1
here (shipping with CMake 2.8.9), and found that this is related to
TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS not being set. This

CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8.8)
GET_PROPERTY(test GLOBAL PROPERTY TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS)
MESSAGE("<" ${test} ">")

prints "<>".
Do I need to manually set a target, or does a later command, e.g. the
instantiation of a project set this?

Cheers,
Nico
