[CMake] Adding a project to a solution.

[David Cole]

This code....:
PROJECT(Project)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(Project Library)

...doesn't make sense.

The first argument to TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES should be a cmake target
name (first arg to ADD_EXECUTABLE, ADD_LIBRARY or ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET)
not a cmake project name...

It should be something like:
PROJECT(Project)
ADD_LIBRARY(ProjectLib lib1.cxx lib2.cxx .....)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(ProjectLib Library)

The generated *.vcproj files map one-to-one with cmake targets. (There
is one .vcproj file for each ADD_EXECUTABLE, ADD_LIBRARY and
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET command...)

Each project statement should map to a .sln file that contains any
necessary .vcproj files.

The top level project statement is the one that generates the top
level .sln file with the ALL_BUILD target that builds *everything*...


HTH,
David
