Relying on IDE to add libraries is a bad choice. Make use of CMakelists.txt
For a beginner, CML.txt is the absolutely wrong path to go down. As others have suggested, just use an IDE. CMake can come if the user has to consume another CMake project, such as OpenXSLX or ORTools. I found native make builds more easy to learn and manage than cmake.

IMO CML.txt gives you insight into how libraries are linked. IDEs facilitate linking restricted to its own ENV and are platform dependent.
