Few questions about find_library()

Code
1

Hi!
I have lib files in directory, so I set

set(MYLIBSDIR "C:/Users/User1/Desktop/math_libs")
find_library(RESULT NAMES lib PATHS "${MYLIBSDIR}/lib")
message("RESULT: " ${RESULT})

libs name:

lib_trace.lib

and

lib_copy.lib

but it still outputs:
1> [CMake] RESULT3: RESULT3-NOTFOUND

how to tell cmake to look for library that begins with lib* ?

If I’m not mistaken I need to enter whole name of a lib and also whole path to directory where libs are, but if I enter full path to directory and full name of a lib
then what’s the point of find_library() ? Why find_library() isn’t recursively search into subdirectories?

Also as a sidenote:
can I found several libraries that fits my name pattern, e.g lib*, and then link them all with target_link_libraries() ?

You’re telling CMake to search for liblib. Does NAMES _trace work? You’ll need one find_library per library name (with different variable names).
