[CMake] imported lib properties...

[Asmodehn Shade]

Hi all,

I am currently converting my old cmake 2.4 scripts to cmake 2.6.3, as I am
enjoying the new possibilities offered by the export / import system
I previously implemented my self a little dirty workaround this
limitation... so I am pretty happy to see this coming along ;-)

Anyway I now am having trouble with imported targets properties...

Let s say I am using an imported target from another project :

In my main script I call a few macros :

import(project_export.cmake)
inspect(project_target)

My macros are defined as this :

macro ( import external_project_export )
     include(${external_project_export})
     # I assume I know external_target is defined in
${external_project_export}
     get_target_properties(external_target_location ${external_target}
LOCATION)
     ###OK WORKING
endmacro ( import external_project )

macro ( inspect target )
     get_target_properties(external_target_location_test ${target} LOCATION)
     ###NOT FOUND
macro ( inspect target )

In the second macro call, all the properties I tried to get ( LOCATION,
IMPORTED_LOCATION, IMPORTED_LOCATION_DEBUG, etc ) all return NOT_FOUND
Yes I even tried to re-include the file desperately, but it tells me the
target is already defined, as it should be...
So it seems the target lost its properties between the 2 macro calls ??

Anyone has an idea of why this happens ?

Thanks a lot,
