This works for me:

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)

    project(testit CXX)

    add_library(lib-obj OBJECT foo.cpp)
    add_library(lib-iface INTERFACE)
    set_target_properties(lib-iface PROPERTIES
      INTERFACE_SOURCES $<TARGET_OBJECTS:lib-obj>
    )
    add_executable(main foo-user.cpp)
    target_link_libraries(main lib-iface)


Thanks,

Steve.
