Note that it is not advisable to populate the ``INSTALL_INTERFACE`` of the
|
|
|INTERFACE_PROPERTY_LINK| of a target with absolute paths to the include
|
|
directories of dependencies. That would hard-code into installed packages
|
|
the include directory paths for dependencies
|
|
**as found on the machine the package was made on**.
|
|
|
|
The ``INSTALL_INTERFACE`` of the |INTERFACE_PROPERTY_LINK| is only
|
|
suitable for specifying the required include directories for headers
|
|
provided with the target itself, not those provided by the transitive
|
|
dependencies listed in its :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES` target
|
|
property. Those dependencies should themselves be targets that specify
|
|
their own header locations in |INTERFACE_PROPERTY_LINK|.

See the :ref:`Creating Relocatable Packages` section of the
|
|
:manual:`cmake-packages(7)` manual for discussion of additional care
|
|
that must be taken when specifying usage requirements while creating
|
|
packages for redistribution.
