Summary0015154: Ninja complains about missing rule
DescriptionWith the attached example project, Ninja will complain with an error saying
"ninja: error: 'lib/libmylib.a', needed by 'myapp', missing and no known rule to make it"

I'm using ExternalProject_Add() and then using imported library targets.
I then set the imported target to depend on the ExternalProject to make sure it is up to date.

This works fine with Visual Studio, NMake, Make, Xcode, etc....
Steps To ReproduceSee attached project.
