The second arg to target_link_libraries should be a CMake target name
or the full path to a library file. In this case, it should be:

  target_link_libraries(proj3 proja)

since proja is a CMake target name. If it were a full path to a
library file, it might be something like:

  target_link_libraries(proj3 /path/to/libproja.a)
