[CMake] problem porting to VC++: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'Exc.lib'

[Wojciech Jarosz]

Hi,
I have been using CMake on Linux and Mac OS X for a couple months now and am 
very happy with it. Now I am having a bit of trouble getting my project to 
work on windows using VC++ Express Edition.

Among other things, my project has two (shared) libraries: Exc and Thread. 
Thread depends on Exc. When I build Exc and then Thread in VC++ I get the 
following error:

------ Build started: Project: Thread, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'Exc.lib'


I'm not quite sure why I'm getting this error or why Thread is even trying to 
link against a static .lib file instead of a shared library.

Thanks for the help,

I've included the two CMakeList.txt files below for reference:
