| 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 :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` IDE
|
| and :generator:`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 Visual Studio 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.
