Cannot statically link jsoncpp with my CMake project

[mrunix00]

Describe the bug When I try to statically link jsoncpp into my project, I get the following error message:

[  3%] Linking CXX executable ../../../../bin/jsontestrunner_exe
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljsoncpp_static: No such file or directory

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add the following to CMakeLists.txt file:

set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS False)
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-static-libstdc++ -static")

2. Run cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build .

Expected behavior Have a statically linked library

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Fedora 40
• CMake version: 3.28.2
• Meson version: 1.4.0
• Ninja version: 1.12.1

We haven't had capacity to fix CMake related issues, as you have likely noticed. If you want to submit a patch for review I would be happy to review it.
