- -------
- Libraries linked by full-path must have a valid library file name.
- In CMake 2.4 and below it is possible to write code like
- ::
- target_link_libraries(myexe /full/path/to/somelib)
- where "somelib" is supposed to be a valid library file name such as
- "libsomelib.a" or "somelib.lib". For Makefile generators this
- produces an error at build time because the dependency on the full
- path cannot be found. For VS IDE and Xcode generators this used to
- work by accident because CMake would always split off the library
- directory and ask the linker to search for the library by name
- (-lsomelib or somelib.lib). Despite the failure with Makefiles, some
- projects have code like this and build only with VS and/or Xcode.
- This version of CMake prefers to pass the full path directly to the
- native build tool, which will fail in this case because it does not
- name a valid library file.
- This policy determines what to do with full paths that do not appear
- to name a valid library file. The OLD behavior for this policy is to
- split the library name from the path and ask the linker to search for
- it. The NEW behavior for this policy is to trust the given path and
- pass it directly to the native build tool unchanged.
- This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.6.1. CMake version
- |release| warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use
- the cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly.
