CMAKE共享库仅创建DLL，而不创建关联的LIB

Question

I am using CMAKE for configuring my project for Visual Studio and I have the following setup:

PROJECT(Proj1)
CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 3.2.0)
# RPATH stuff - to avoid losing linking information
SET(CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH FALSE)
SET(CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH FALSE)
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib")
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH TRUE)


# Variable for header and source files
SET(HEADERS
  api/mylib.h   
)
SET(SOURCES
  api/mylib.cpp
)

# Compile and link
ADD_LIBRARY(${NAME} SHARED ${HEADERS} ${SOURCES})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${NAME} ${LIBS})

Now, this creates the project and I can compile it but it only produces the Proj1.dll file and not the associatwed lib file. I thought both the library and the shared object file should have been produced.

I am using CMAKE 3.11.0 and Visual Studio Community 2017

Answer 1

To create static library .lib, you have to use STATIC keyword instead of SHARED

ADD_LIBRARY(${NAME} STATIC ${HEADERS} ${SOURCES})
