Yes, I raised the same issue when I brought this up before: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/6106/focus=6695 > And as I said already before, I would not recommend using imported target > names directly. In some cases, handling the imported target can not be avoided, as Friedrich just discovered: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.core/79205 So, I don't think we should pretent they don't exist, or try to hide the fact that they exist.
