hpx: Can't link HPX when APEX enabled

Expected Behavior

HPX used to build fine with -DHPX_WITH_APEX=TRUE, but for many weeks that has been unstable because of CMake configuration changes. It hasn’t built correctly for weeks.

Likely, a change needs to be made to how the hpx_apex library is built, but I can’t figure out how to make it work with the HPX cmake macros. Could some configuration expert please see what’s wrong with the way the APEX library is included by CMake? See: https://github.com/khuck/xpress-apex/blob/d03e7c0b8ddfc7362fdd9d3993a2e345c1313ea6/src/apex/CMakeLists.hpx#L375-L382 - is this correct?

Actual Behavior

[ 84%] Linking CXX shared library ../lib/libhpx.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhpx_algorithms
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhpx_assertion
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhpx_format

@aurianer I was able to get it to build with this mess (I added every library) - is it correct?
