Summary0011058: TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES only works in the directory defining the library
DescriptionIt looks like TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(target1 depend1..dependn) only works _if_ TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES() is invoked in the same directory that defines target1.

The documentation doesn't mention anything about this, so I don't know whether this is a bug?

 The behavior is intentional. The local scope needs to know that link information will not magically appear elsewhere. This is so that things like the export() command can write link dependency information immediately.

I updated the documentation and the error message to be more specific:
