Building TBB using Visual Studio 2015 x64 and CMake - c++

Question

i would like to build TBB to use it in another CMake project. I tried to build TBB from the Github source using the makefile (upgraded with VisualStudio 2015). This failed due to a mysterious error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'opencv_core300.lib'
Where does this error could originate from?
My second try was is to build TBB using another repository that allows a build using CMake. This build produces an tbb.lib, tbb.dll, etc. file.
Now I am stuck how to incorporate is in my other cmake files. There is no TBBConfig.cmake or similar.
My CMakeLists.txt for my project looks like this:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(IntrafraktionelleRegistrierung)
find_package(ITK REQUIRED
COMPONENTS
ITKRegistrationCommon
ITKRegistrationMethodsv4
)
include(${ITK_USE_FILE})
set(SRC
${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}.cxx
)
if (DEFINED ENV{TBBROOT})
message(STATUS "TBBROOT: $ENV{TBBROOT}")
else()
message(STATUS "TBBROOT not defined!")
endif()
find_package(TBB REQUIRED)
add_executable(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} ${SRC})
target_link_libraries( ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}
${ITK_LIBRARIES}
tbb
)'
TBBROOT is the build directory of tbb. The FindTBB.cmake I have available is borrowed from here and copied to the modules directory of cmake.
The latest version of the binaries of TBB have a CMake folder with TBBConfig.cmake inside. I used this to link the TBB to my project but somehow I ended up by an error stating: "tbb-NOTFOUND.obj cannot be found". (This way is still under investigation.
Has someone used this repository to configure and build a cmake project?

About CMake related questions
Basically you have two options:
Integration of pre-built TBB binaries into your project
You can use the binaries of TBB (just as you did) according to the following example. After invocation of find_package(TBB REQUIRED) you will get TBB targets in a format TBB::<component> (e.g. TBB::tbb, TBB::tbbmalloc, etc). Also TBB_IMPORTED_TARGETS variable will contain all imported TBB targets.
So, you need to slightly modify your target_link_libraries:
target_link_libraries( ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}
${ITK_LIBRARIES}
${TBB_IMPORTED_TARGETS}
)
or
target_link_libraries( ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}
${ITK_LIBRARIES}
TBB::tbb
)
Also you can update your find_package if you need only TBB::tbb component in your project: find_package(TBB REQUIRED tbb)
Integration of TBB source code into your project
You can use tbb_build (it is a CMake wrapper using GNU Make on TBB Makefiles), but to run it on Windows under Visual Studio you will need to have GNU Make in your environment.
If you'd like to integrate this TBB (with CMake support) you can use add_subdirectory(<YOUR-TBB-ROOT>) (replace <YOUR-TBB-ROOT> with actual location of TBB) instead of find_package(TBB REQUIRED).
