As a general rule, putting definitions in header files is better that on the command line.
It allows other projects to use the software without having to construct complicated
command lines.   If wxwindows itself had this approach, you only have to worry about
getting the correct -I options, and that would be it.   Often times it is a complicated
process to construct the -D options, and scripts are provided to be used in makefiles.
If a .h file is configured, then it isolates the build system used and avoids users of
the library having to run a script or compute the -D options.

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES can take debug and optimized 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
