Hello Bill, after a long code-walk I have "solved" my problem. The function cmMakefileTargetGenerator::AppendTargetDepends() has added the libs to the target's EXTERNAL_OBJECTS list. This has caused make to try to build that external object, e.g. the Qt-lib, if it was not present.
BTW: Does it link the external objects to the target too? I am just curious because the Qt-libs do not appear in link.txt... My "fix" was to comment out the body of cmMakefileTargetGenerator::AppendTargetDepends(), which works fine for me. Maybe there is a more general solution, because there surely is some reason behind that function ;) Should I post a bug report to CMake's bug tracker?
