The generation of the library interface supplied by this function only works within the same directory as that the target was defined. By adding a custom target named GENERATE_ now also interface files will be generated by making a target dependend on the generate target.

Example:
/CMakeLists.txt
set(MY_INCL_SRC ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/fbs/my_incl.fbs)
flatbuffers_generate_headers(TARGET my_incl
SCHEMAS ${MY_INCL_SRC})

add_subdirectory(app)

/app/CMakeLists.txt
add_executable(app src/test.cpp)
target_link_libraries(app my_incl)
add_dependencies(app GENERATE_my_incl)
