Yeah I see - but you told CMake with

add_library(foo foo.cpp foo.h)

that it should create something like the following

c++ -c foo.cpp
c++ -c foo.h     ---------->>>>  (that won't work) ;)
c++ foo.cpp foo.h foo

That's all I can say about it. I just meant it's perhaps a better idea 
to search for the problem inside of the IDE.

p.S.: Nobody here using VS who can help? I am really not a specialist on 
Visual Studio.
