| 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. |
