Summary	0014424: Vague ADD_DEPENDENCIES() Description
Description	The current description doesn't clarify the direction of the dependencies being specified. I suggest the following wording, assuming I understand the command correctly: add_dependencies: Add a dependency between top-level targets. add_dependencies(target-name depend-target1 depend-target2 ...) Makes target-name depend on the other listed targets, so it must build before the others. All of the targets must be top-level targets, which means they all must have been created by ADD_EXECUTABLE, ADD_LIBRARY, or ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET. Dependencies added to an IMPORTED target are followed transitively in its place since the target itself does not build. See the DEPENDS option of ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET and ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND for adding file-level dependencies in custom rules. See the OBJECT_DEPENDS option in SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES to add file-level dependencies to object files.
