AFAIK you have to link C also with B.
You might add a target_link_libraries(C B) in C's configuration.

A non portable way to avoid this configuration could be to
use automatic linking directives in A's headers included by C.

When you add B to the Additional Dependencies, C is linked with B.

Actually, "target_link_libraries(C B)" puts B into the
Additional Dependencies of the VC project generated for C.
