The strange thing is that I had came across this page:

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX.html

«
The suffix for static libraries that you link to.

The suffix to use for the end of a static library filename, .lib on Windows.

CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX_<LANG> overrides this for language <LANG>.

The thing is that at the time I interpreted 'LANG' as referring to a natural language, not a programming one. Maybe I was too tired?

Anyway, the cmake documentation is not very friendly, is it? Looks like it was written by Spartans. Sometimes, one or two more words would make things so much clear!
