[CMake] LINK_LIBRARIES() does not respect SUFFIX/PREFIX

[Peter Visser]

Great!

A while ago I tried to cross-compile code for win32 with mingw from linux
and ran into the same problem with the library PREFIX and SUFFIX. Setting
the PREFIX and SUFFIX globally works great, cross-compiling now works good
for my project (and much faster than the native compile with mingw on
windows.)

SET(CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX "")
SET(CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX ".dll")
SET(CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX ".exe")

Thanks,

Peter.


This problem is now solved. For anyone else facing this with
