| GNUtoMS |
| ------- |
| |
| Convert GNU import library (``.dll.a``) to MS format (``.lib``). |
| |
| When linking a shared library or executable that exports symbols using |
| GNU tools on Windows (MinGW/MSYS) with Visual Studio installed convert |
| the import library (``.dll.a``) from GNU to MS format (``.lib``). Both import |
| libraries will be installed by :command:`install(TARGETS)` and exported by |
| :command:`install(EXPORT)` and :command:`export` to be linked |
| by applications with either GNU- or MS-compatible tools. |
| |
| If the variable ``CMAKE_GNUtoMS`` is set when a target is created its |
| value is used to initialize this property. The variable must be set |
| prior to the first command that enables a language such as :command:`project` |
| or :command:`enable_language`. CMake provides the variable as an option to the |
| user automatically when configuring on Windows with GNU tools. |
