[CMake] How to use lib from include_external_msproject

[Howard Rubin]

I have a C++/CLI LIB (and DLL) that I generate with
include_external_msproject. I need to link to it from my C++ project, which
I'm trying to do with target_link_libraries. This gives the below error
message. Since I'm not creating it with add_library I don't see how to
indicate it's a shared lib.

 

How can I indicate the lib is a SHARED lib, or otherwise link to it in a
CMake project?

 

 

CMake Error at modules/PptxWriterCpp/sample/CMakeLists.txt:4
(target_link_libraries):

  Target "PptxWriterCpp" of type UTILITY may not be linked into another

 target.  One may link only to STATIC or SHARED libraries, or to executables

  with the ENABLE_EXPORTS property set.
