Problem finding precompiled libraries on Windows with CMake - c++

Question

So I'm currently trying to compile my c++-program (originally written on Linux) on windows. As it is using ncurses, I'm compiling in a cygwin-terminal, where I have the ncurses libs installed:
cygcheck -c | grep curses
libncurses++w10 6.1-1.20190727 OK
libncurses-devel 6.1-1.20190727 OK
libncursesw10 6.1-1.20190727 OK
ncurses 6.1-1.20190727 OK
Also, it's using aubio, so I downloaded and extracted the precompiled binaries to C:\aubio and added C:\aubio\bin to PATH (where the binaries and the .dll are located).
CMake works fine:
cmake -G"Visual Studio 17" ..
But when compiling with:
cmake --build . --target dissonance --config Debug
I get the following errors (among others that I can handle myself):
fatal error C1083: Datei (Include) kann nicht geöffnet werden: "aubio/aubio.h": No such file or directory
fatal error C1083: Datei (Include) kann nicht geöffnet werden: "curses.h": No such file or directory
While all libraries previously installed with conan where found, obviously, aubio and ncurses libraries are not found. My problem is that I'm mainly not 100% sure what I did wrong, is it either
CMake not being configured correctly to find the libraries on windows
or did I miss some steps when "installing" aubio and ncurses.
So my question is whether someone can either point me in the direction, where the problem might lie (is it 1. or 2.)
Or someone even spotted either a) a missing step after installing the ncurses cygwin-package or while installing the precompiled aubio package or b) something missing/ wrong in my CMakeLists.txt.
I'm assuming that the problem is quite independent of aubio and it could technically be any other precompiled library.
Here is a slightly reduced version of my CMakeList.txt (everything left out is noted):
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
# set the project name and version
project(dissonance VERSION 1.0)
include(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/conanbuildinfo.cmake)
conan_basic_setup()
# specify the C++ standard
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED True)
if(APPLE)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-pthread -ldl -lm")
elseif(MSVC)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-pthread -ldl -lm -lncursesw -lcurses")
else()
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-Wall -Werror -pthread -ldl -lm -lncursesw")
endif(APPLE)
add_compile_options(-fdiagnostics-color=always)
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)
# Add source files needed for tests and game
set(SRC_FILES
[ removed for readility]
)
# Add soruce files needed for game only
set(SRC_FILES_GAME
src/main.cc
${SRC_FILES}
)
include_directories(/usr/local/lib/)
link_directories(/usr/local/lib/)
add_executable(dissonance ${SRC_FILES_GAME})
target_link_libraries(dissonance PUBLIC aubio curses ncurses ${CONAN_LIBS})
target_include_directories(dissonance PUBLIC "src")
I'm aware that I don't need to include curses and ncurses in the target_link_libraries and that adding -lncursesw -lcurses to CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS is not helping (just stuff I found while searching answers, but apparently it did not work. Leaving it here so people can see).
Here's the link to the github-project, For full code access: dissonance.
EDIT: Since on Linux the aubio libraries (libaubio.so, libaubio.so.5 ...) are located at /usr/share/lib/, which is (obviously not the case in Windows), I changed the following lines:
include_directories(/usr/local/lib/)
link_directories(/usr/local/lib/)
to now point to the locations where aubio and ncurses are:
include_directories(C:/cygwin64/lib/ C:/aubio/bin/)
link_directories(C:/cygwin64/lib/ C:/aubio/bin/)
However, this didn't change anything :D
