cmake find_library without "lib" prefix name

I have a library called mylib.a in the path /home/test/libs/.

How can I add it to the project??

find_library(IDA_LIB
                 NAMES "mylib.a"
                 PATHS "/home/test/libs"
                 NO_DEFAULT_PATH)

Since it does not have the prefix lib cmake does not find it. If I change the library name to libmylib.a if finds it fine.

Try this: 

add_library(mylib STATIC IMPORTED)
set_target_properties(mylib PROPERTIES IMPORTED_LOCATION /home/test/mylib.a)

then you can use "mylib" in: 

target_link_libraries(myapp
        mylib )

Use following command with absolute file path of your library

target_link_libraries(IDA_LIB /home/test/libs/mylib.a)
