# CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES

Suffixes to append when looking for libraries.

This specifies what suffixes to add to library names when the `find_library()` command looks for libraries. On Windows systems this is typically `.lib` and, depending on the compiler, `.dll.lib`, `.dll.a`, `.a` (e.g. rustc, GCC, or Clang), so when it tries to find the `foo` library, it will look for `[<prefix>]foo[.dll].lib` and/or `[<prefix>]foo[.dll].a`, depending on the compiler used and the `<prefix>` specified in the `CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES`.

CMake sets this variable automatically during toolchain inspection by calls to the `project()` or `enable_language()` commands.
