The synopsis of `SWIG_LINK_LIBRARIES' macro is:
SWIG_LINK_LIBRARIES(module_name library [library...])

So try this:

SWIG_LINK_LIBRARIES(glm ${PYTHON_LIBRARIES} glm )


However if I were you, to avoid any conflicts / misunderstanding, I
would choose a different module name:

ADD_LIBRARY(glm .... )
[...]
SWIG_ADD_MODULE(glm_swig python glm.i)
SWIG_LINK_LIBRARIES(glm_swig ${PYTHON_LIBRARIES} glm )
