[cmake-developers] CMake 2.8.12 transitive link regression?

[Clinton Stimpson]

Hi,

If I have this CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

add_library(foo SHARED foo.cpp)
add_library(foo2 SHARED foo2.cpp)

target_link_libraries(foo2 foo)

add_executable(app app.cpp)
target_link_libraries(app foo2)


It links app with both foo2 and foo.

But if I change to 
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)

Then foo is dropped and the app links only with foo2, which gives me a link 
error.

Is that expected?  The docs for target_link_libraries() still says library 
dependencies are transitive by default.
