This should work. Be careful, though. I think symbols from the static
lib will only show up in your DLL if code in your DLL uses those symbols
-- that is, not all symbols from the static lib are automatically
imported into your DLL. This is all IIRC.

This is not a CMake command and google has never heard of it. If this is
a macro in your CMake system, we'll need to see its contents before we
can comment on it.
