Linking dll/lib to a cmake project

问题

I was trying to link a library to my cmake project but I was getting linker errors. I spent 2 hours trying to resolve the problem and I created simple project where I hardcoded all the paths.

CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 3.0)
PROJECT(Testing CXX)

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES("B:/Projects/TMH/Libraries/Awesomium/inc")

SET(SOURCE_FILES
        src/Main.cpp
        src/Application.cpp
        src/Window.cpp
)

ADD_EXECUTABLE(Testing ${SOURCE_FILES})

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(Testing B:/Projects/TMH/Libraries/Awesomium/bin/awesomium.dll)

But even that code fails to compile and throws linker errors like this:

CMakeFiles\Testing.dir/objects.a(Application.cpp.obj): In function `ZN9PXLClient11ApplicationD2Ev':
B:/Projects/TMH/Testing/src/Application.cpp:15: undefined reference to `_imp___ZN9Awesomium7WebCore8ShutdownEv'
CMakeFiles\Testing.dir/objects.a(Application.cpp.obj): In function `ZN9PXLClient11Application3RunEv':
B:/Projects/TMH/Testing/src/Application.cpp:20: undefined reference to `_imp___ZN9Awesomium9WebConfigC1Ev'

I either tried to link the .lib file instead of the .dll one. I changed

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(Testing B:/Projects/TMH/Libraries/Awesomium/bin/awesomium.dll)

to

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(Testing B:/Projects/TMH/Libraries/Awesomium/lib/Awesomium.lib)

But I was getting exactly the same errors. I'm 100% sure that both paths are correct.

How to correctly link a dll/lib to cmake project?
