Thank you for your comment. I should have chosen better names in my
example to avoid confusion, but this is not the problem. At least I don't
think so.

ADD_LIBRARY(liba SHARED liba.cpp) creates the library libliba.dylib (the
other lib is named liblibb.dylib, so TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(liba libb)
should be right.
