I'm new to CMake, but I was able to setup the CMakeLists.txt files for my C++ project, it resembles a little bit this setup, BTW. I need to use UnitTest++ for unit testing, but for some reason linking the unit test executables fails. Here is the shell output:

and this is my CMakeLists.txt file related to my executable unit testing binaries:

endforeach()

and here is the last CMakeLists.txt file related to building the libraries of my project:
jorge [~/coders/desarrollo/santotomasdeaquino] ~> cat src/CMakeLists.txt
include_directories(./tomasaquino)
add_library(ResourceManager ./tomasaquino/ResourceManager.cpp)

What I'm doing wrong?
It seems to be typo errors, my bad!
in the line
set(LIBS ${LIBS} ${UNITTEST_LIBRARIES} ResourceManager)instead of${UNITTEST_LIBRARIES}it should be${UNITTEST++_LIBRARY}.The unit test binaries now links successfully, haha.
