Note: Connect libraries with executable by using target_link_libraries is before actually declaring any of the libraries.

target_link_libraries() is intended to be used with actual libraries and allows you to control property propagation.

add_dependencies() is meant to be used only with top-level targets to set their build order.

Visualizing dependencies:

cmake --graphviz=test.dot .
