[CMake] Trouble with library Dependencies not being reflected in the generated project files

[Austin Hicks]

Hello,
     I'm having some interesting problems with dependencies, and I'm 
trying to determine if this is my fault or CMake's.  For the record, I'm 
on cmake 3.0.1, Windows 7, and Visual Studio 2013.

I've got a project consisting of a vendored copy of Portaudio, a shared 
library, and something like 10 example programs.  I've set everything up 
in the obvious manner-the example programs go to the library with 
target_link_libraries.  The example programs do not rebuild with the 
library.  I've been fighting with it for 6 hours.

And here comes the strangeness that makes me think this may not be my fault.

First, there is one generated file, made through add_custom_command to a 
python script.  I thought this could be the problem, but temporarily 
turned it into a regular static file.  No luck.

So I went to the Graphviz output.  There is an explicit dependency from 
the executables to the library, and everything looks right. This is 
apparently not being reflected in any of the three backends I tried: 
NMake Makefiles, NMake Makefiles JOM, or VS2013 MSBuild scripts.

I have tried a full regeneration of the build tree along with everything 
I've done to fix it, so this isn't some sort of phantom state (I saw 
that once or twice).  Not unless CMake stores stuff outside my build tree.

I've not posted my CMakeLists.txt here because it's actually 5 linked by 
add_subdirectory.  I can attach them, link to the Github repository, or 
post them in an e-mail one after another.  I'm not sure what the 
convention is, and this problem is something I've not yet managed to 
isolate to a small test case.

Any help is appreciated.
