Hi,
this is the obvious answer if both library a built within your own project. However, it is unclear to me how to set such link dependencies between libs NOT being part of the project. In that case, your proposed solution would lead to CMake Error: Attempt to add link library "libB" to target "libA" which is not built by this project. I am not sure if Josef Karthauser was referring to such a situation. This case occurs quite often in my projects and so far I found no way how to fomulate these dependencies in an elegant way. Anyone who can help me (and probably Josef Karthauser)? Best regards -- Dipl. Phys.
