CMAKE: Build library and link against it

Question

I\'m trying to use cmake (on Linux with GNU make and g++) to build a project with two sub-directories: MyLib and MyApp. MyLib contains source for a static library; MyApp needs

Answer 1

1. Use "out of the source build". Make a directory used only for build and while in it, call

   cmake 

2. Either use

   link_directories(${MyProj_BINARY_DIR}/MyLib)

   or make CMakeLists.txt in each subdirectory - that would be better for project larger than very small.

3. This is a bit tricky, check out CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE in the docs (you can set it and/or "if" by it). You can also set it from command line:

   cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
