[CMake] How to instruct CMAKE not to generate a .lib for the target .exe

[llvm 999]

I have a very simple CMAKE to generate a .exe target (say xyz.exe) with several .cpp source files and some external .lib files (boost and wxwidgets).


For some reason, CMAKE generates a .lib for the target (xyz.lib) and then generate the .exe (xyz.exe) using the /IMPLIB liner option to pull in the xyz.lib file.


Is there a way to instruct CMAKE not to generate the .lib (xyz.lib) but only to generate the .obj (xyz.obj) before performing the link operation?


Thanks in advance for your help.
