For a whole project:

ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DMATLAB_MEX_FILE)

or for an individual source file:

SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(mymex.c PROPERTIES
   COMPILE_FLAGS -DMATLAB_MEX_FILE)

> C/C++   Preprocessor     Additional include directories    C:\MATLAB701

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES command

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES

Use __declspec(dllexport) in the code.
