Summary0008123: Addressing an external MS project as target
DescriptionThere is the following situation: I use CMake as build control system (Windows platform, MS Visual Studio) for my own project (A). A depends on a second project (B). The project-files of B are pre generated and not covered by my CMake-Scripts. I use “INCLUDE_EXTERNAL_MSPROJECT” to integrate B into my solution.
Until this point everything works fine. But is there any way to address included external projects (like B) as a target in a CMake script. I would need this to add dependencies between A and B (e.g. ADD_DEPENDENCIES(A B)), so that B would also be build when I want to build A.
 
In the documentation and the mailing list I have found no information how to do this. And it seems that INCLUDE_EXTERNAL_MSPROJECT has no possibilities to introduce a Target identifier (like ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET)

Solution by Bill Hoffman:
>> include_external_msproject(B /some/path)
>>
>> add_dependencies(A INCLUDE_EXTERNAL_MSPROJECT_B)
>>

 It creates a target INCLUDE_EXTERNAL_MSPROJECT_B automatically. So, is this a documentation bug?
