my first problem is solved: To link against "foo/libbar.a", the link

some reason I do not want to use it this way, but want to directly
specify "foo/libbar.a" at the link line (as I tried in the first
place)? Is this possible?
You can specify the full path to libbar.a
Ok, but if I specify - for instance - "/path/foo/libbar.a"
(TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES), cmake transforms it to "-L/path/foo -lbar" at
the link line ...
That's because on most platforms passing the full path to a static
library causes the linker to copy the entire archive instead of just the
objects needed. CMake splits the path into -L and -l to avoid this
problem, but it also computes a safe link directory order to make sure
the library is found at the location specified. It warns if no safe
order exists.
