How to add an external library to eclipse cmake projects [message #1817306]

I wonder how to achieve this for CMake projects? https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ#How_do_I_add_an_external_library_to_my_C.2B.2B_project.3F

For CDT make projects, I could see C/C++ Build>>Settings>> option, but CMake projects there is no option at all.

Is there any way I could achieve the same?

AFAIK, There is no equivalent of Managed Builds in a CMake project.
You do it by editing the CMakeLists.txt or by using the CMake GUI tool.
