From the documentation of add_dependencies:

Make a top-level target depend on other top-level targets. A top-level target is one created by ADD_EXECUTABLE, ADD_LIBRARY, or ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET.
A test is thus not a valid target to add dependencies to.

Often, one wants to build an executable only for the purpose of a test. Excluding the executable from the all target is easy. However, there seems to be currently no way of indicating that a test depends on an executable. Would it be possible to add some target name to tests ??

If not, would it be at least possible to make "test" (and for what is worth "all") some valid targets to
which dependencies can be added ??

Thank's for any hint.
