'cmake SHARED won't generate .lib on Windows?

On macOS I managed to build my own small SHARED library based on fmt, while installing it with vcpkg and building the project with cmake.

Now on Windows I have:

CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.19.1)

set(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE C:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake)

project(MYLIB)

set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)

find_package(fmt REQUIRED)

include_directories(C:/vcpkg/installed/x64-osx/include)

link_libraries(fmt::fmt)

add_library(mylib SHARED mylib.cpp)

mylib.cpp

#include "mylib.h"

#include <fmt/core.h>

float add(float a, float b)
{
    fmt::print("Hello MYLIB, world!\n");
    return (a + b);
}

This generates the .dll but no .lib, why?
