Subject: [PATCH] src/cpp: fix cmake >= 3.11 build

CMake < 3.11 doesn't support add_library() without any source file
(i.e add_library(foo SHARED)). But flann CMake use a trick that use
an empty string "" as source list (i.e add_library(foo SHARED "")).
This look like a bug in CMake < 3.11.

With CMake >= 3.11, the new behaviour of add_library() break the
existing flann CMake code.

From CMake Changelog [1]:
"add_library() and add_executable() commands can now be called without
 any sources and will not complain as long as sources are added later
 via the target_sources() command."

Note: flann CMake code doesn't use target_sources() since no source file
are provided intentionally since the flann shared library is created by
linking with the flann_cpp_s static library with this line:

target_link_libraries(flann_cpp -Wl,-whole-archive flann_cpp_s -Wl,-no-whole-archive)

If you try to use "add_library(flann_cpp SHARED ${CPP_SOURCES})" (as it should
be normally done), the link fail due to already defined symbol.

They are building the shared version using the static library "to speedup the
build time" [3]

This issue is already reported upstream [2] with a proposed solution.

Upstream status: Pending
