using cmake to link object files into lib.xxxx.a file

Question

I've got a list of object files that I want to package in a library. How do I do this? I thought I could use ADD_LIBRARY

Answer 1

add_library is the correct answer. To make a static library, you want to do something like this:

add_library(foo STATIC foo.c bar.c baz.c)

Answer 2

Static libraries are becoming a bit obsolete, but "ar" is the command you are looking for.
