That part may not be correct.

it should be target_link_libraries(myexe somelib)

CMake will look for variations of the name for the library. I think. At least I have never had to put a full path like at and I use .plugin for my libraries in my project and they work fine on OS X with Xcode.

You should be using the "find_library()" function to find your library which gets assigned to a CMake variable. Then you end up with something like this:

 FIND_LIBRARY(SOME_LIBRARY
  NAMES somelib
  PATHS /full/path/to/  )
target_link_libraries(myexe ${SOME_LIBRARY})

That really should work on Xcode without any issues.
