Petr,

I tried the following, but in both cases (target_link_libraries
and set_target_properties) I still get a linker error that it can't find
TestB().

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
PROJECT(Test)

add_library(TestB TestB.cpp)

# TestA depends on TestB
add_library(TestA TestA.cpp)
#target_link_libraries(TestA LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES TestB)
set_target_properties(TestA PROPERTIES LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES "TestB")

# I want to link to TestA and have it automatically also link to TestB
add_executable(Test Test.cpp)
target_link_libraries(Test TestA)

I have uploaded the entire demo project here:
http://homepages.rpi.edu/~doriad/Upload/TestCMake.tar.gz

Any ideas?

Thanks,

David
