Re: [CMake] Install libraries defined in INTERFACE targets

Here is an updated version of your example with working exporting of
Module3 and importing inside Module4 ( I ignored the XML lib importing
)

Re: [CMake] Install libraries defined in INTERFACE targets

[rozelak]

Hallo Robert,
thank you for your answer.
 
While I generally understand your explanation, I do not know exactly what to 
do. I have tried to add
 
   target_link_libraries(Module2_LIBRARIES INTERFACE $)
 
into Modules 1 and 2 together with 
 
   install(EXPORT ...
 
in Module 3, but still there is no definition of the required libraries in the 
CMake file(s) generated (by the EXPORT).
 
Could you give me few more additional hints, please?
 
Thank you very much,
Dan

BUILD_INTERFACE explicitly means that only consumers inside the same 
buildsystem should use these libraries. To specify the libraries that should be 
used when linking to an installed version of a library you need to use 
INSTALL_INTERFACE.The reason for BUILD and INSTALL interface is to make sure 
you can build relocatable libraries and not embed absolute paths into a 
libraries specification.

 Hello,
 I build a project which consists of several "modules" with various mutual 
dependencies. Each module defines its OBJECT target as:
  
  
     # Module 1:
     add_library(Module1 OBJECT )
     target_include_directories(Module1 PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
  
     add_library(Module1_LIBRARIES INTERFACE)
     target_link_libraries(Module1_LIBRARIES INTERFACE $)
  
  
     # Module 2:
     add_library(Module2 OBJECT )
     target_include_directories(Module2 PUBLIC 
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}>)
  
     add_library(Module2_LIBRARIES INTERFACE)
     target_link_libraries(Module2_LIBRARIES INTERFACE $ 
$)
  
     add_library(Module2_INCLUDES  INTERFACE)
     target_include_directories(Module2_INCLUDES  INTERFACE 
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:Module2,INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>)
     target_sources(Module2_INCLUDES  INTERFACE )
  
     add_library(Module_CONFFILE  INTERFACE)
     target_sources(Module2_CONFFILE  INTERFACE Module.config)
  
  
 And when building a final product (or one of the final products), I use the 
individual targets:
  
     add_library(Product1 STATIC $ 
$ ...)
     target_link_libraries(Product1 LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES 
$ $ ...)
  
  
  
 It works perfectly, the library is built using all the sources. Even when 
defining INSTALL, all the properties of the targets (include files, config 
files, etc.) can be accessed and are installed correctly
  
     install(TARGETS Product1  DESTINATION "./" EXPORT "libProduct1")
     install(FILES $<TARGET_PROPERTY:Module2_CONFFILE,INTERFACE_SOURCES>          
DESTINATION "./config")
     install(FILES $<TARGET_PROPERTY:Module2_INCLUDES,INTERFACE_SOURCES>          
DESTINATION "./include")
  
     
 The problem starts when I want to export a CMake file listing all the libraries 
which were defined by the individual modules (and are accessed by 
$) since they know what they need (how they 
were configured).
  
 When building a static library (which is shown here), I need to export a list of 
additional libraries necessary to link the Product1 correctly. But using 
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:Module[]_LIBRARIES> in the INSTALL() command does not work, 
neither works something like:
  
     install(EXPORT "llibProduct1" DESTINATION "." 
EXPORT_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES)
  
  
 So the question is: how to export the libraries defined by the individual 
modules to an CMake file which would be installed together with the Product1 
library and header files?
  
  
 Thank you very much,
 Dan
  
 P.S. I use CMake 3.6.2.

Then, it first builds a STATIC library (defined by Module3) which is then used
