+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 one of the :command:`add_executable`,
+:command:`add_library`, or :command:`add_custom_target` commands
+(but not targets generated by CMake like ``install``).
+
+Dependencies added to an :ref:`imported target <Imported Targets>`
+or an :ref:`interface library <Interface Libraries>` are followed
+transitively in its place since the target itself does not build.
+
+See the ``DEPENDS`` option of :command:`add_custom_target` and
+:command:`add_custom_command` commands for adding file-level
+dependencies in custom rules. See the :prop_sf:`OBJECT_DEPENDS`
+source file property to add file-level dependencies to object files.
