I don't think the command documentation can be any clearer that it is meant only for top-level logical target names, not files: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.10/cmake.html#command:add_dependencies [^] However, the error message can be greatly improved: http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=de13d68d [^] |

IMO the limitation should be considered a bug. Having facilities that work “over here” but not “over there” kills usability. Uniformity, please! |

I don't consider it a bug. The command should perhaps have been called target_add_dependencies but it will create more confusion to change it now IMO. |
