algo and cabs are created using add_custom_command()

I tried add_dependencies(algo cabs), but it did not work.
Would it work if i create a fake target (can I force cabs and algo as
top-level targets, or as valid parameters for add_custom_target ?) ?

add_custom_target(target1 depends cabs)
add_custom_target(algo depends target1)


Or something like that.
