CMake Link to External Library without Package finder

I have a precompiled library that I have to make visible to my Cmake project, and I don't understand how I would use the package finder in Cmake to find that library. The external library itself has nothing to do with CMake. Anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers.

A few days later, I post; What ended up working for me was:

link_directories("${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/ext/lib")

Where ext/lib has external precompiled libraries. I didn't want to link just to a specific target.
