Summary0014932: Cannot set library linker flags for each configuration individually
DescriptionIssue is related to: 0012295(http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=12295 [^])

We already have CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_RELEASE for specifying executable linker flags (as well as MODULE and SHARED) but no variable for STATIC libraries. STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS does not work because it sets the flag(s) for all configurations. A variable such as CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS_RELEASE (and CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG etc.) that sets the flags for the VC++ librarian would be ideal.

 We already have the requested variables:

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/variable/CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS_CONFIG.html [^]

One can see the implementation here:

 It does not seem to be working (see StaticLibLTCG.7z) - tested with VC++ 2010 and 2013.

Perhaps I am not using it properly?

 You can't set the CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS_RELEASE variable before the project() command. The toolchain initialization done by that command creates the cache entry of the same name, and that unsets the local variable. The cache entry is supposed to be something that the local user can modify. If you want to add something beyond the user-specified value you can do

 set(CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS_RELEASE} -my-flag")

after the project() command.
