TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES({$LIBNAME}) is not a correct syntax
 
It does need target (you link your library to some other library or
executable, and this library or executable is called target)
 
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(<target> "${LIBNAME}") should work
 
For example, if you want to link something with mysqld, you add to
CMakeLists.txt 
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(mysqld "${LIBNAME}")

Subject: [Maria-developers] linking an external library
 
Folks,
I want to link an external library for a language extension. After several
hours of trying to tell cmake (^%$@*&) to pick it up for linking the library
would still not be built with. 

CMakeLists.txt in trunk/sql is in the meantime full of pointers to the
library without avail.
I did the normal FIND_LIBRARY()
followed by TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES({$LIBNAME}) on various targets
plus as nothing worked: SET(CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH) on it, explicity
LINK_DIRECTORIES(), SET(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH), SET(CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH) ... 
How do I link mariadb with an external library??
Thanks Rob
