[CMake] Linking own header files to a source code

[Micha Hergarden]

Hello,

You don't seem to tell cmake what executable you want and what sources
it is made up of. Take a look at the 'add_executable' and 'add_library'
commands. To create an executable from the sources, you may want to do
something like: add_executable(test01 test01.cc)
And for the library: add_library(trace libtrace.h libtrace.cc)

Add these statements between the 'find_package' and
'target_link_libraries' statements. If you then run cmake, two actual
build targets get generated which you can see with 'make help' if you
are using make.

Regards,
Micha
