MSVC: use lib instead of link for static libraries (!4409) · Merge requests · CMake / CMake

Francisco Facioni requested to merge fran6co/cmake:use_link_msvc into master Feb 28, 2020

link /lib is an undocumented flag and it just calls lib. Also link doesn't parse /lib correctly when in a response file and it's a problem for other generators like Fastbuild => !4200 (closed).
