AIX_SHARED_LIBRARY_ARCHIVE — CMake 3.31.1 Documentation

# AIX_SHARED_LIBRARY_ARCHIVE

Added in version 3.31.

On AIX, enable creation of a shared library archive. This places the shared object `.so` file inside an archive `.a` file.

By default, CMake creates shared libraries on AIX as plain shared object `.so` files for consistency with other UNIX platforms. Alternatively, set this property to a true value to create a shared library archive instead, as is AIX convention.

The shared object name in the archive encodes version information from the `SOVERSION` target property, if set, and otherwise from the `VERSION` target property, if set.

This property defaults to `CMAKE_AIX_SHARED_LIBRARY_ARCHIVE` if that variable is set when a `SHARED` library target is created by `add_library()`.
