- 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.
