Re: [cmake-developers] Why does this work - linking against a library before it has been defined ?

The thing is, the library kde4support is built inside the lib
subdirectory, which is added after using kde4support in
target_link_libraries().
I think in previous version of cmake the kde4support in the tll() call
would
have been recognized as the name of a library and added to the link command
using -lkde4support.
Now it seems to be recognized as the name of a target.
This has always been the case. Link analysis has always
been done at generate time.

Note that it is more likely to *compile* since 2.8.11 because includes and defines are part of the target interface, but linking should be unchanged.
