Summary0013869: Transitive external project dependency won't compile under VS2012
DescriptionI have an external project defined as:

ExternalProject_Add(
    LibExternal
    ...
    )

add_library(libexternal STATIC IMPORTED GLOBAL)
set_property(TARGET libexternal PROPERTY
    IMPORTED_LOCATION ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/libexternal.a)
add_dependencies(libexternal LibExternal)

Which I link to other project as:
target_link_libraries(lib1 libexternal)

And then to another:
target_link_libraries(lib2 lib1)

As expected the *.sln created for lib1 compiles LibExternal.

The *.sln created for lib2 has LibExternal in the build tree but it is not checked for build in the Configuration Manager and therefore skipped during build.

See uploaded file. After running cmake open `Lib2.sln` .

Although `MyExternal` is in the solution. It is excluded from the build in visual studio configuration manager.

Great, thanks for reporting back. There have been several changes affecting VS 11 generation recently. I don't know off the top of my head which one fixed this but it will be in 2.8.11.
