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)?


I would like also to have an explanation about this.

Yes, where you create libA, you add this:

target_link_libraries(libA libB)

CMake will automatically chain.
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.
