+add_dependencies
+----------------
+
+Add a dependency between top-level targets.
+
+::
+
+ add_dependencies(<target> [<target-dependency>]...)
+
+Make a top-level <target> depend on other top-level targets to ensure
+that they build before <target> does. A top-level target is one
+created by ADD_EXECUTABLE, ADD_LIBRARY, or ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET.
+Dependencies added to an IMPORTED target are followed transitively in
+its place since the target itself does not build.
+
+See the DEPENDS option of ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET and ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND for
+adding file-level dependencies in custom rules. See the
+OBJECT_DEPENDS option in SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES to add file-level
+dependencies to object files.
