You've specified an ampersand character ( & ) in your include directories and as a library to link to - the linker is simply informing you that it can't find a library named &

You don't need to use the & as a separator when specifying multiple include directories or libraries in CMake - whitespace is sufficient.

(If any of the documentation suggests that you should use & in this fashion, it is wrong and should be corrected)
