Klitzing Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 14778 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: feature Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2014-02-28 02:40 EST Last Modified: 2014-02-28 02:40 EST ====================================================================== Summary: Allow IMPORTED target in target_include_directories Description: I'm using cmake 2.8.12 and qt 5.2.1 and I have some artifacts that should be build as an OBJECT LIBRARY. But cmake and the new IMPORTED TARGETs way does not allow me to do it.
There should be a way to add all needed compile stuff to OBJECT LIBRARIES like the new IMPORTED TARGET feature. Intuitional I would use an IMPORTED target in target_include_directories. Steps to Reproduce: FILE(GLOB_RECURSE FILES "*.cpp") ADD_LIBRARY(Example OBJECT ${FILES}) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(Example Qt5::Core) Error: Object library target "Example" may not link to anything. Of course I don't need to link libraries to that OBJECT LIBRARY. But I need INCLUDES, DEFINITIONS and so on for the compilation because the artifacts uses qt.
