You need to use the FULL path to the library and not just the directory.

target_link_libraries(TheApp debug d:/vxl/lib/debug/vcl.lib  optimized 
d:/vxl/lib/release/vcl.lib)

Also, you need to make sure you do this for all the libraries you are 
linking in.  If you link just one library from the wrong one you will 
end up with both.
