I made a test project to let you can reproduce it.

steps to produce
-
build shared library
run commands to build shard library
cd ${SHARED_LIBRARY_ROOT}
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build --config Debug
cmake --install build --prefix install/Debug --config Debug
cmake --build build --config Release
cmake --install build --prefix install/Release --config Release
- copy output to test dir
copy all content in install directory to test/bbb
and then copy test/bbb/Relase/include or test/bbb/Relase/include to test/bbb
- build test binary and run ctest
If all proceduces above are correct, the building should success.
use visual studio to open test CMakeLists.txt and then build it.
run tests from TestExplorer.
