that find_library always seems to prepend when searching? I have a library

specify name that you want to find. Like "NAMES libMyLib MyLib"
Ah, so NAMES
<name> specifies the literal name, while giving just <name> as a parameter
to find_library will prepend "lib" and append ".so"?
Or is that automatism
also included when specifying NAMES <name>, but more alternatives are
tried?

Thank you for your answers,
