Thanks Alex, I am using ExternalProject_Add() to add websocketpp to my build and it generates the library libwebsocketpp.a fine. My question is what is the standard way that other CMAKE projects would locate the library for linking?

In general, find_package() is intended to be used to find libraries which already exist on the system, outside your project. You can use externproject_add() to add projects to your build.
