CMake - Specifying Linker / Linker Flags during Cross-Compile - c++

Question

I am in the process of converting out previous build system (Makefiles) to CMake. I am trying to specify the Linker and Linker Flags for CMake and am not sure if I am using the correct syntax/variables. I have included my original Makefile (which compiles and genreates the executable) but when attempting to do the smae with CMake I am getting errors.
Here is the error:
Linking CXX executable discoveryService
/home/projects/OMAP- L137/timesys/SDK/omapl137_evm/toolchain/bin/../../toolchain/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x34): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [arm/communications/discoveryService] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arm/communications/CMakeFiles/discoveryService.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
The original Makefile used three flags -lpthread -lc & -o If I am understanding correctly the -o just means to name the executable a specific name so with CMake *ADD_EXECUTABLE* I shouldn't need that since we specify the name of the executable there. I have included my 2 CMakeLists and the original Makefile for reference and any help is greatly appreciated since this has stumped me for the second day now..
