Linking error for client of rabbitmq-c - c++

Question

I want to implement a small c++ client, that connects to my local RabbitMQ-server.
The app is configured with CMakeList as follows:
Boost_STATIC_LIBS: ON
Boost SHARED_LIBS: ON
ENABLE_SSL_SUPPORT: ON
Rabbitmqc_INCLUDE_DIR: C:/rabbitmq-c/include
Rabbitmqc_LIBRARY: C:/rabbitmq-c/lib
Rabbitmqc_SSL_ENABLED: ON
_Rabbitmqc_SSL_HEADER: C:/rabbitmq-c/include/amqp_ssl_socket.h
CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8)
PROJECT(client)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/utilities
)
# Find Boost library
SET(Boost_INCLUDE_DIR C:/local/boost_1_64_0)
SET(Boost_LIBRARY_DIR C:/local/boost_1_64_0/lib64-msvc-14.0)
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost 1.64.0 COMPONENTS chrono system REQUIRED)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(SYSTEM ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
# Find Rabbitmqc library
SET(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Modules)
FIND_PACKAGE(Rabbitmqc REQUIRED)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(SYSTEM ${Rabbitmqc_INCLUDE_DIRS})
OPTION(ENABLE_SSL_SUPPORT "Enable SSL support." ${Rabbitmqc_SSL_ENABLED})
OPTION(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "Build client as a shared library" ON)
OPTION(BOOST_STATIC_LIBS "Build Boost as a static library" ON)
IF(WIN32)
SET(PLATFORM_DIR win32)
ELSE(WIN32)
SET(PLATFORM_DIR unix)
ENDIF(WIN32)
set(COMMON_SRCS
utilities/utils.h
utilities/utils.c
${PLATFORM_DIR}/utilities/platform_utils.c
)
SET(client_SRCS
testClient.cxx
)
ADD_EXECUTABLE(client ${client_SRCS})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(client ${Boost_LIBRARIES} ${Rabbitmqc_LIBRARY} ${OPENSSL_LIBRARIES} ${SOCKET_LIBRARY})
The output of CMake-Gui after generating:
Boost version: 1.64.0
Found the following Boost libraries:
chrono
system
Found Rabbitmqc
Configuring done

I don't understand why the Rabbitmqc library is not linked properly. is the entry ${Rabbitmqc_LIBRARY} in TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES not enough?
If I compile my client, then I get following errors:
testClient.cxx
#include <iostream>
#include <amqp.h>
#include <amqp_tcp_socket.h>

int port, status;
char const *exchange;
char const *bindingkey;
amqp_socket_t *socket = NULL;
amqp_connection_state_t conn;
amqp_bytes_t queuename;
if (argc < 5)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: amqp_listen host port exchange bindingkey\n");
return 1;
}
hostname = "localhost";
port = atoi("15672");
exchange = "testExchange";
bindingkey = "testMessage";
conn = amqp_new_connection();
socket = amqp_tcp_socket_new(conn);
if(!socket)
{
std::cout<<"Error creating SSL/TLS socket"<<std::endl;
}
status = amqp_socket_open(socket, hostname, port);
if(status)
{
std::cout<<"opening TCP socket"<<std::endl;
}
}
