Cmake linking external libraries

Question

How to link external libraries with cmake? i want to include header files (Liblaries/include) and link .lib files(Liblaries/lib) + opengl lib.

I'm new to CMake, but I think you're looking for something like `target_link_libraries(Game ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/lib/glew32s.lib ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/lib/glfw3.lib)` and `target_include_directories(Game ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/include)`. It appears that your `CMakeLists.txt` file exists in `Liblaries` directory already, so you shouldn't need `Liblaries` in your paths for the target commands. — , Aug 26 '18 at 18:04
In the future, you should be aware that it's usually more helpful to post the code that isn't working and also explain what you've tried already that hasn't worked. The image is useful for showing your project's directory structure, but that's all. — , Aug 26 '18 at 18:06

ADD_LIBRARY(LibsModule 
        file1.cpp
        file2.cpp
    )

then add them to a module call LibsModule

target_link_libraries(LibsModule -lpthread)
