No, that is not correct.  I am saying:


target_link_libraries(c:/foo)
add_executable(bar bar.c)

Will do this:

cl -LIBPATH:c:/foo/$(OutDir) -LIBPATH:c:/foo bar.obj -o bar

For a debug built OutDir will be Debug, for release Release.  What is an 
artifact?

So, the libraries you are linking to only need to be in config dirs that 
have the same names as the ones that are used in the CMake generated IDE 
project.
