[CMake] Is it possible for a dependee to use the dependency LINKER_FLAGS ?

[Walter Gray]

Glen is correct. You should take a look at the docs for interface modules
here:

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html#interface-libraries

I also put up some examples of how to do this on github a while back.

Hope that helps! Also for future googling the concept is called Usage
Requirements.
