Well that didn't take long. I pushed a target-link-libraries-interfaces branch to stage. In the branch: target_link_libraries(foo LINK_PRIVATE qtxml LINK_PUBLIC qtcore qtnetwork ) and target_link_libraries(foo LINK_PUBLIC qtcore qtnetwork LINK_PRIVATE qtxml ) are equivalent to: target_link_libraries(foo qtcore qtnetwork qtxml ) target_link_libraries(foo LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES qtcore qtnetwork ) both mean: * foo will link against qtxml, qtcore and qtnetwork * qtcore and qtnetwork will be in the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES ... target_link_libraries(foo LINK_PUBLIC qtcore qtnetwork ) is equivalent to target_link_libraries(foo qtcore qtnetwork ) * foo will link against qtcore and qtnetwork ... target_link_libraries(foo LINK_PRIVATE qtcore ) is equivalent to: target_link_libraries(foo qtcore ) target_link_libraries(foo TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES "" ) * foo will link against qtcore * qtcore will not be in the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES ... target_link_libraries(foo LINK_PRIVATE qtxml ) target_link_libraries(foo LINK_PUBLIC qtcore qtnetwork ) is equivalent to: target_link_libraries(foo qtcore qtxml qtnetwork ) target_link_libraries(foo TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES qtcore qtnetwork ) * foo will link against qtxml, qtcore and qtnetwork * qtcore and qtnetwork will be in the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES What do you think?
