   For now, how I'd do it something like this in your external's CMakeLists.txt. I haven't tested this exact set up, but I've done it similarly to this in the past.

   cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
   
   set(C74_MIN_API_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../../min-api)
   include(${C74_MIN_API_DIR}/script/min-pretarget.cmake)
   
   include_directories( 
   	"${C74_INCLUDES}"
   )
   
   set( SOURCE_FILES
   	${PROJECT_NAME}.cpp
   )
   
   add_library( 
   	${PROJECT_NAME} 
   	MODULE
   	${SOURCE_FILES}
   )
   
   #   ====== see this section
   #  /
   # v
   if (MSVC)
       # include any headers needed by your library that's kept at <repository root>/libs/include,
       # and you can change for your situation
       include_directories("${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/libs/include")
   
       # this links to a library that's kept at <repository root>/libs/foo.lib, and you can change for your situation
       target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/libs/foo.lib")
   endif()
   
   
   include(${C74_MIN_API_DIR}/script/min-posttarget.cmake)
