I just tried
ADD_EXECUTABLE(foo foo.cxx)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(foo bar.lib)
and I got a "-lbar" on the link line from CMake 2.4.3 with the "MSYS
Makefiles" and "MinGW Makefiles" generators.
Try adding
MESSAGE("CMAKE_EXTRA_LINK_EXTENSIONS=[${CMAKE_EXTRA_LINK_EXTENSIONS}]")
to your code to see if the variable is set to ".lib" as it is supposed
to be on MinGW and MSYS generators.
