AIX_SHARED_LIBRARY_ARCHIVE -------------------------- .. versionadded:: 3.31 On AIX, enable or disable creation of a shared library archive for a ``SHARED`` library target: * If enabled, the shared object ``.so`` file is placed inside an archive ``.a`` file. This is the preferred convention on AIX. The shared object name in the archive encodes version information from the :prop_tgt:`SOVERSION` target property, if set, and otherwise from the :prop_tgt:`VERSION` target property, if set. * If disabled, a plain shared object ``.so`` file is produced. This is consistent with other UNIX platforms. This property defaults to :variable:`CMAKE_AIX_SHARED_LIBRARY_ARCHIVE` if that variable is set when a non-imported ``SHARED`` library target is created by :command:`add_library`. Imported targets must explicitly enable :prop_tgt:`!AIX_SHARED_LIBRARY_ARCHIVE` if they import an AIX shared library archive. .. versionchanged:: 4.0 For a non-imported target, if this property is not set, the default is *enabled*. See policy :policy:`CMP0182`. In CMake 3.31, policy :policy:`CMP0182` did not exist, so the default was *disabled*. In CMake 3.30 and lower, :prop_tgt:`!AIX_SHARED_LIBRARY_ARCHIVE` did not exist, so the default was *disabled*.
