If the external makefile generates a library, I think you can just deal with the library itself and not all the objects generated by building the library. So, use the "output" specifier of the add_custom_command() to give the name of the library, not all the object files. Be warned though, that if you change a source file covered only by the external makefile, your project will not rebuild properly. > what is the easiest way to combine these libraries using cmake? Sounds like what you want is to identify the libraries produced by the external makefile as a first class target usable by other parts of your build, but this is the problem! I don't think cmake has a succinct way to do this. Would love to hear otherwise. _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
