[CMake] Fwd: TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES not working for MSVC

[Martin O'Brien]

If you're seeing a 'Librarian' tab instead of a 'Linker' tab, then you're
building a static library, not a dll.

I'm not sure which you are expecting.

Could you post the results of the build?  Seeing the actual errors would
help.

Do you handle the visibility of symbols in libraries properly?
On Linux the [usual] default is to have all symbol exported whereas
it's the converse on Windows (no symbol exported unless specified).

You have to use
__declspec(dllexport)
__declspec(dllimport)
statement in the Windows case.
