Hello Benjamin,
if you wants to use an object file for a shared library, this object
file has to be compiled with -fPIC. I don't think, that it is possible
to create a shared library from such object files.

Hello,
I have a problem using an OBJECT library that I want to compile into a SHARED
library using CMake version 2.8.8.
Here is a small example that demonstrates my problem:
# --------------- CMakeLists.txt ---------------
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.8)
project(CMakeTest CXX)
add_library(MyLibSub OBJECT
ClassA.cpp
)
add_library(MyLib SHARED
$<TARGET_OBJECTS:MyLibSub>
ClassB.cpp
)
The content of the other four files is more or less irrelevant. To make the
example complete, I added them at the end of this e-mail.
When I want to build this example, I get the following error:
$ mkdir build&& cd build&& cmake ..&& make
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.7.0
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- works

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libMyLib.so] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2
When I add the line
set_target_properties(MyLibSub PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "-fPIC")
to the CMakeLists.txt, everything works fine. Am I doing something wrong?
Should CMake add "-fPIC" automatically in this case? Your feedback is greatly
appreciated.
Kind regards
Benjamin
