cmake splits libaries path on "-" about simit HOT 6 CLOSED

Custom llvm should work and separate_arguments should separate by whitespace not -. Is the problem that there are whitespace in the path?

(llvm-config does correctly handle spaces in the llvm path (see https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27743).)

Hi, sorry for not being precise! I compile simit on Centos7.1. When llvm-config is placed in:
$HOME/packages/llvm/3.4.2/platform-linux/arch-x86_64/bin/

it compiles, but throws an error on linking:

[ 57%] Linking CXX shared library ../lib/libsimit.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -linux/arch-x86_64/lib

It clearly gets confused with platform-linux section of the path returned by llvm-config --libdir. Running llvm-config from $HOME/llvm/bin works as expected.

Thanks for your attention. I will try to make CMake working in such case.

[edit] - it's cmake-3.4.3 btw

Ahh, it is probably confused by the combination -l as it is the lib include flag. I should be able to fix this shortly.

Thanks for the quick response!

I believe this was fixed with 2b18597. It would be much appreciated if you can test the latest version on your system.

Hi,
thank you for fast response. It works like a charm now!

A little glitch found by chance: there is a misleading typo in fem/spring building CMake file. It complains about missing SIMIT_LIB_DIR whereas it actually is expecting SIMIT_LIBRARY_DIR.

Thanks for the help! I also fixed the cmake issue.
