</div>One of the reasons it is not already possible to link to object libraries is<br>
to side-step issues of transitive behavior, I understand.<br>
<br>
Hopefully by CMake 3.1 targets will support an INTERFACE_SOURCES property.<br>
That together with INTERFACE libraries from CMake 3.0 should give you lots<br>
of control over the transitive nature of such libraries. It may also become<br>
possible to link to actual object libraries too in the process. I don't know<br>
yet.<br>
<br>
The work is blocked by the need to refactor the IDE generators to use the<br>
cmGeneratorTarget::GetExternalObjects method.<br>
<br>

<br>
I think resolving that would require familiarity with some of the CMake C++<br>
implementation and some of the pre-VS10 IDEs and generators or Xcode.<br>
