I've tried that and it's a bug in CMake: when using the Unix Makefiles
generator.
The root cause is CMake is not adding the library search directory in the
Makefile, i. e. it does not add "/link /LIBPATH:C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\lib /LIBPATH:C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Lib" to CMAKE_C_FLAGS, CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
or CMAKE_LINKER_FLAGS.
I have reported that as a bug #13767:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13767
Other than that, it works for me.
That being said, I'm not surprised this has not been reported by anybody:
if you are using CMake and MSVC, it's likely you are generating Visual
Studio projects and solutions, not Unix Makefiles (it at least cl.exe,
link.exe, etc worked on Linux using Wine...)

I'm curious: how do you debug, profile, etc with the Visual Studio IDE?
AFAIK that requires either a VS project file, or attaching to the
already-running process.
