AFAIK, it hasn't, since the root of this issue is still that there's no generally accepted naming convention for actual static libraries and the DLL-accompanying import libraries on Windows. However, on *nix, you might make FIND_LIBRARY() prefer static libaries by manipulating the CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES variable. > I try to specify the name of the library like this: > > find_library(MY_STATIC_LIB NAMES libmylib.a PATHS /path/to/mylib) > > but it doesn't work. > > I don't understand the reason why it doesn't work. > > If anyone have some ideas... Usually, specifying the library's full name should work. Could you provide a minimal but complete counter-example for investigation?
