Thanks for that suggestion; I had read it in the cmake book addendum,
then forgot about it.
Exporting in the reference build tree made the trick. No exactly what I
want though, as it stores absolute path so I can't move it afterwards,
but I can correct that with a perl script.
It also exports library dependency information, which is exactly and
mostly what I needed.
One small issue:
In my test example, I have lib1 depending on lib2 depending on lib3
depending on lib1.
Exporting libs 1 and 2 works fine.
Exporting lib3 outputs the following error, although it generates the
correct export file. I do need to have a different export file for each
lib, so I can't use the APPEND option:
CMake Error at lib3/CMakeLists.txt:16 (export):
export called with target "3" which requires target "1" that is
not in the
export list.
If the required target is not easy to reference in this call,
consider
using the APPEND option with multiple separate calls.
Would there be a way to avoid this error?
Regards,
Alexandre

In CMake 2.6 you can export and import targets, which might be an
option.
The CMake manual tells you more about this, just look for install and
EXPORT.
