Hi,

This is a feature/problem on Windows, the library used for dynamic linking
is not the runtime module as Linux or OSX but the .lib, a collection of
symbols.

I suggest you could still use find_library() to locate the .lib file for
linking, then use find_file() to collect the runtime file then install it
to the distribution.

Thanks.
