Re: [CMake] FindLibrary only looks for lib under Windows
find_library always looks for *.lib files on Windows. Those are the ones
that need to be passed to the linker. The *.dll files are the ones that need
to be there at runtime in order to run correctly.
This behavior is intended, by design, and is working correctly.
HTH,

[CMake] FindLibrary only looks for lib under Windows
Hi, I have modified the FindAPR.cmake module to look for the APR library
under Windows.
Using Find_Library ,
the library that it should look for is "libapr-1.dll" , however, cmake
fails to find it. If I change the name from "libapr-1.dll" to
"libapr-1.lib" , CMake can successfully locate it.
I am using CMake 2.8 with Visual Studio Express 2008
The structure is like
IF(WIN32)
SET(APR_INCLUDE_SEARCH_PATH ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/
SET(APR_LIB_SEARCH_PATH ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/...
ELSE(WIN32)
ENDIF(WIN32)
It then looks for the library by
FIND_LIBRARY( APR_LIBRARY NAMES ${APR_NAMES} PATHS ${APR_LIB_SEARCH_PATH} )
Many thanks
John
