[CMake] add_library and target_link_libraries in different directories?

[Alexandre Feblot]

Hi,

 

I have not been able to define a library dependency in a directory
different from the one in which the library target is created.

Is this done by design, or is there any way to do it?

 

My goal would be to have

-          each library in it's own directory (and a CMakeLists.txt file
with a add_library command)

-          all dependencies stored in a single file at the root level

 

root dependency file example:

    target_link_libraries(mylib1 mylib2 mylib4)

    target_link_libraries(mylib2 mylib2 mylib5)

    target_link_libraries(mylib3 mylib4 mylib5)

    . . . 

 

This fails with such a message:

 

CMake Error: Attempt to add link library "mylib2" to target "mylib1"
which is not built by this project.

CMake Error: Attempt to add link library "mylib4" to target "mylib1"
which is not built by this project.

 

Can I work around this?

 

Thanks
