This works for me:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)
project(testit CXX)
add_library(lib-obj OBJECT foo.cpp)
add_library(lib-iface INTERFACE)
set_target_properties(lib-iface PROPERTIES
INTERFACE_SOURCES $<TARGET_OBJECTS:lib-obj>
)
add_executable(main foo-user.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main lib-iface)
Thanks,
Steve.
