Is that right? No, that is not right. On the contrary: we recommend that you use full paths to libraries in target_link_libraries calls. > I don't think what you suggest will work: > > TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES ( <target> <child libs> ${Boost_LIBRARIES} > ${MYSQLCPPCONNECTOR_LIB_DIR}/debug/mysqlcppconn-static.lib ) > This should work. Do you have a problem with it if you try it? You can add debug and optimized versions like this (if those libraries exist): TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES ( <target> <child libs> ${Boost_LIBRARIES} debug ${MYSQLCPPCONNECTOR_LIB_DIR}/debug/mysqlcppconn-static.lib optimized ${MYSQLCPPCONNECTOR_LIB_DIR}/release/mysqlcppconn-static.lib ) Then, in multi-configuration generators (VS and Xcode), CMake links debug to debug and release to release... Or in a makefile based build, the value of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is used to determine which libraries to link to. HTH, David > So I was looking at add_library.
