#  TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES: Link a target to given libraries.

  TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(target library1
                        <debug | optimized> library2
                        ...)

Specify a list of libraries to be linked into the specified target. The
debug and optimized strings may be used to indicate that the next
library listed is to be used only for that specific type of build
