Cannot find libNrrdIO link library - makefile

Question

This question is an extension of the following:
Cannot find a link library (lNrrdIO)
The solution given by Tsyvarev worked for lNrrdIO.a, compiled from NrrdIO version 1.9.0, but when i tried the same thing from NrrdIO version 1.11.0, which generates a library libNrrdIO.a. I did exactly the same things for both, just modifying the cmakelists.txt in the LINK_LIBRARIES line, by changing NrrdIO to ibNrrdIO. Bu this is giving the following error:
[ 7%] Linking CXX executable ijkmcube
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -libNrrdIO
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
CMakeFiles/ijkmcube.dir/build.make:406: recipe for target 'ijkmcube'

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/ijkmcube.dir/all] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2
The CMakeLists.txt is as follows:

Can someone help identify what the problem could be? Is it possible to make cmake search for the library libNrrdIO.a? using some in-built function?
Thanks

Answer 1

The problem was finally resolved, with the help of Dr. Wenger from the Ohio State University, he suggested making 2 modifications to the CMakeLists of NrrdIO version 1.11.0, by setting the QNANHABIT value to 1 and uncommenting the line ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DTEEM_ZLIB=1) I've attached the modified CMakeLists file for reference:
