[CMake] find_library returns the .dll on MinGW

Hello,

I have the following files:

D:/env/mingw64/lib/libzip.dll.a
D:/env/mingw64/bin/libzip.dll

The following environment:

PATH=D:/env/mingw64/bin
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=D:/env/mingw64

Using this:

find_library(
    ZIP_LIBRARY
    NAMES zip libzip
)

I got this in the CMakeCache.txt:

//Path to a library.
ZIP_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=D:/env/mingw64/bin/libzip.dll

Is there any reason why find_library searches for the .dll instead of
the .a in that case? Is there a quick fix or I do something wrong?

Regards,
