Hej, You really should provide more detailed information about your project structure, and what is going wrong. There are some subtle differences between Linux/Windows, but not at the level you're referring to. Certainly the IMPORTED property has nothing to do with a platform distinction. IMPORTED libraries work exactly the same on Windows/Linux.
There is a very big difference between Linux/Windows though in the sense that on Windows you need to explicitly export symbols you want to be available on the interface of the dll. My first guess from your very limited info is that something is wrong in that area (and if that's the case, you can easily resolve this using the GenerateExportHeader module). But back to my original comment: provide more details on what you are trying to do, and what is failing.
