get_target_property() called with non-existent target "NOTFOUND".

I'm porting a rather large code base CMake and shopping around for a precompiled header solution. Yours seems like the cleanest, but I've had no luck getting it to work.

When I attempt to add a precompiled header to any of my targets, I get the following two errors repeated for several thousand lines. CMake version 3.2.3. Since the stack isn't real, I don't know how to start debugging the issue. Any assistance would be appreciated.

CMake Error at cmake/CMakePCHCompiler/CMakePCHCompiler.cmake:229 (get_target_property):
  get_target_property() called with non-existent target "NOTFOUND".
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  Some weird path:9999 (__watch_pch_last_hook)


CMake Error at cmake/CMakePCHCompiler/CMakePCHCompiler.cmake:236 (set_target_properties):
  set_target_properties Can not find target to add properties to:
  NOTFOUND.pch
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  Some weird path:9999 (__watch_pch_last_hook)

This looks like issue #1 which still exists (but the issue is marked resolved for some reason)

@AmineKhaldi, it seems you're right. Thanks.

Were you ever able to get CMakePCHCompiler working for you?

[AmineKhaldi]

Not yet. Hopefully Adam will get to the bottom of it.

Is it even possible to add precompiled header to target which depends on target that will be defined later (i.e. after calling target_precompiled_header) or does this require native CMake support? I am also getting hundreds of errors such like these...

Also, in order use your compiler at all, I need to add following line in my CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_policy(SET CMP0045 OLD)

Here is a fix for this problem in my case: #11

Should be fixed by 0166e2c, feel free to comment if this is not the case.
