[CMake] Unable to find source files in different directory using target_sources(INTERFACE)

I have the following:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1.0 FATAL_ERROR)
project(foo)
add_library(foo INTERFACE)
target_sources(foo INTERFACE foo.h)
add_subdirectory(subdir)
And inside subdir, I specify add_executable() and then
target_link_libraries(myexe foo).
I get an error:
Cannot find source file: foo.h
I'm using CMake 3.6. What am I doing wrong here?
My goal is to generate a header-only project in Visual Studio.
According to the documentation, what I'm trying to do won't give me
that. Instead, foo.h would exist in every project that links to it as
a dependency (that's what it seems like anyhow).
Advice is appreciated.
