Move all lines from LINK_LIBRARIES to TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES. Also add
the following two lines to TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES

So your CMakeLists.txt should look like this:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
PROJECT(TestGDCM)
FIND_PACKAGE(VTK REQUIRED)
INCLUDE(${VTK_USE_FILE})
FIND_PACKAGE(GDCM)
IF(GDCM_FOUND)
   INCLUDE(${GDCM_USE_FILE})
ENDIF(GDCM_FOUND)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES (
 ${VTK_INCLUDE_DIR}
 ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}
 ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}
 )

ADD_EXECUTABLE(TestGDCM TestGDCM.cxx)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(TestGDCM
 gdcmMSFF
 vtkgdcm
 vtkCommon
 vtkRendering
 vtkIO
 vtkFiltering
 vtkGraphics
 vtkWidgets
 vtkImaging
 vtkHybrid
 vtkCharts
 vtkVolumeRendering
 )
