This is a pretty frequently asked question - the short answer is, if you
are building all the libraries yourself, just add all the source files
to a single cmake static library, otherwise install a ____-config.cmake
file that will automatically set a dependency. Trying to do this
apparently auto*-y ar trick is possible but ugly and "not the right way
to do it".

Is there any way to have CMake make a new static library that includes the
objects from another existing static library?
As an example (here a Linux-specific example) of doing this manually, suppose I have an existing library
"libA.a", as well as an object file "B.o" that I have just compiled, and I want to
combine the two of them into a single static library named "libB.a" . By hand I could do this:
ar xv libA.a # generates an A.o or something similar
ar rcs libB.a B.o A.o
Can this be done (in a cross-platform way) with CMake commands?
(Of course, if I have access to the source code for A, this is simple, but that
may not always be the case.)
Thank you for any tips,
Eric
