The warning
WARNING: Target "T3_demo" requests linking to directory
"C:/dev/libQGLViewer-2.5.3/QGLViewer/debug".  Targets may link only to
libraries.  CMake is dropping the item.

tells you that you should not point to a directory but to the library 
directly.

Alternatively you can follow what is written here:
http://www.cgal.org/windows_installation.html#libQGLViewer
