Bug #29688	example.lib not in linker path

Category:	MySQL Server: Compiling	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.0.46BK	OS:	Windows (XP Pro SP2)
Assigned to:	Daniel Fischer	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
When configure includes "WITH_EXAMPLE_STORAGE_ENGINE", example.lib is not added to linker path thus linking fails.

How to repeat:
My BK repo is on linux so I do:
 - compile dist and make dist
 - extract archive on Win
 - win\configure WITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_PARTITION_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_ARCHIVE_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_BLACKHOLE_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_EXAMPLE_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_FEDERATED_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE __NT__ MYSQL_SERVER_SUFFIX=-max-nt
 - C:\ZaMySQL\Serveri\mysql-5.0.46\mysql-5.0.46>win\build-vs8.bat
The system cannot find the file specified.

Library example is defined using ADD_LIBRARY after the library is used using TAR
GET_LINK_LIBRARIES for the target mysqld. This breaks CMake's dependency handlin
g. Please fix the CMakeLists.txt file.

Build solution (Release), you'll notice linker error.

Suggested fix:
Add C:\ZaMySQL\Serveri\mysql-5.0.46\mysql-5.0.46\sql\examples\release to Linker / General / Additional Library Directories

Bug is repeatable with UNIX sources as well.
