This compiles without error but fails during linking with the following error

CallSlang depends on ast, ast depends on the expression and vice versa.
I have tried the solution in the link but it not-working so far for me. I am really new to CMake. Is it caused by the circular call by ast and expression, if so how can correct the same? The complete code can be found in this link
Could someone please tell me the possible cause and solution? If I've missed out anything, over- or under-emphasized a specific point, please let me know in the comments. Thank you so much in advance for your time.
