The following works on Linux, for both GNU and Intel compilers:

target_link_libraries(test_mylib mylib ${test_mylib_libraries})
add_test (TestMylib test_mylib)
However on windows, using Visual Studio, building test_mylib fails
with the message "cannot open file Debug\mylib.lib". But I have not
asked for a static library, and I'm not sure why VS is trying to link
to it. Is there some extra step I need to take to make this work on
Windows?
mylib.lib is the import library [1] for your DLL.
The linker is (probably) not creating it because you aren't exporting
any symbols [2].
