[CMake] linked dependencies in exported cmake package

[Stéphane Ancelot]

Hi,

I made an exported package for a library that needs linking qt5.

find_package() works to find my library , however, I don't know how to
handle the linking of external libs needed by this package.

I suppose that must be managed inside the exported package, by which way ?

Regards,

S.Ancelot

I use the following way
set_target_properties(<your exported target> PROPERTIES
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES <library required to link with your target>)
