OK I seem to have found a solution which works (with ROOT v5.34/23):
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6 FATAL_ERROR)
project(rootLib)
find_package(ROOT REQUIRED)
include(StandaloneBuild)
include(RootInstallDirs)
include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/inc)
ROOT_STANDARD_LIBRARY_PACKAGE(rootLib DEPENDENCIES ${ROOT_LIBRARIES})
as long as the source files end in ‘.cxx’ (pity there isn’t an option to change the default extension).
Now I’ll try the exact same with ROOT v6.02…
