[CMake] Problem with link directories

[jolinda]

Thanks Brad and Bill for your help. I misunderstood before -- I thought you
meant I had to have LINK_DIRECTORIES before TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES, not
ADD_EXECUTABLE. If this is documented somewhere I apologize for missing it.

That does not add the link directories before the target.  Try this:

PROJECT(MyProject)
LINK_DIRECTORIES( "d:/dcmtk-3.5.3" )
ADD_EXECUTABLE(MyProject WIN32 file2.cpp ) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(MyProject
dcmdata.lib)

Now the MyProject executable will have the given set of link 
directories.  You can also do this:

ADD_EXECUTABLE(MyProject WIN32 file2.cpp ) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(MyProject
d:/dcmtk-3.5.3/dcmdata.lib)
