When you will try to link target with the directory (that exists), cmake will
skip this without an error, only the following warning will be reported:
target_link_libraries(main /tmp)
WARNING: Target "main" requests linking to directory "/tmp". Targets may link only to libraries. CMake is dropping the item.
And there is no cmake policy that controls this.
(I guess the reason that it is allowed is because of FRAMEWORK for OSX).
So to avoid error-prone cmake rules, this can be sanitized.
There are the following ways:
- overwrite target_link_libraries()/link_libraries() and check *before*
calling real macro, but this requires duplicate all supported syntax
-- too complex
- overwrite target_link_libraries() and check LINK_LIBRARIES property, this
works great
-- but cannot be used with link_libraries()
- use BUILDSYSTEM_TARGETS property to get list of all targets and sanitize
-- this will work.
I also tested it with the following patch:
$ git di
diff --git a/base/daemon/CMakeLists.txt b/base/daemon/CMakeLists.txt
index 26d59a57e7..35e6ff6432 100644

target_link_libraries (daemon PRIVATE ${SENTRY_LIBRARY})

endif ()
And it works:
