CMake linking error (undefined reference to function) - c++

Question

I'm working on C/C++ cross platform application. I'm using CMake for build process.
The project structure below is simplified, narrowing to the issue.

I'm able to generate executable in Windows, I'm having issue on linux.
I've been trying to fix this for some time. Why it is showing errors if it has already been built before the linkage?
