Hi, As I wrote in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/7082 (Linking to OBJECT libraries?, 2013-06-06) I was experimenting with adding a static library to the INTERFACE of the Qt5::Gui target. While that seemed to work, the target build order is not correctly accounted for. For example: add_library(some_imported SHARED IMPORTED) # ... add_library(foo dummy.cpp) set_property(TARGET some_imported APPEND PROPERTY LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES foo ) add_executable(my_exe ...) target_link_libraries(my_exe some_imported) The my_exe target does not currently get a target-build-order dependency on foo as a result of the above. Is that a feature (you can't add non-IMPORTED targets to the INTERFACE of IMPORTED targets), or a bug (we should fix it)? Fixing it is quite easy I think. All non-IMPORTED targets from the INTERFACE of IMPORTED targets in the link implementation simply get appended to the result in GetDirectLinkLibraries.
