[CMake] find_library while cross compiling?

[Parag Chandra]

Hi Robert,

I encountered a similar problem when I was cross-compiling for NaCl on
Windows. You need to set various CMake variables that explicitly override
things like the library suffix/prefix. For example, in my case I needed to
set the following:

set (CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX "lib")
set (CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX ".a")
set (CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX ".pexe" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)
set (CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX "lib")
set (CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX ".so")

Hope this helps.
