I put the <plugin>.c file and the CmakeLists.txt in a folder on my desktop and ran
cmake .

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
  No cmake_minimum_required command is present.  A line of code such as

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

  should be added at the top of the file.  The version specified may be lower
  if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project.  For more
  information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000".
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

then i ran
cmake . -Wno-dev

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (MYSQL_ADD_PLUGIN):
  Unknown CMake command "MYSQL_ADD_PLUGIN".


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Thanks
