[Cmake] Linking libraries

Hello,

in a VTK related project, I have problems linking libraries other than
those needed by VTK when building my own libraries. In a subdir, I build
the resp lib and try to link it to libraries needed via LINK_LIBRARIES.
This doesn't work. Only when I use TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES the specified
libs are linked into my target lib. Is this the intended behaviour,
because I think I saw examples using LINK_LIBRARIES? What is the
difference between those commands and when should either of them be used
?

Thanks a lot.
