[CMake] get name of .lib file

[Tim Gallagher]

I think the CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX/CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX variables would tell you what you want. We use them to determine the output name as:

${CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFX}<library target name>${CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX}

We also have an if statement in case STATIC libraries are built, in which case you just replace SHARED with STATIC in the variable names.

These came from:

Subject: [CMake] get name of .lib file

I have a library created like this:
  add_library(mylib SHARED ${SOURCES} ${PRIVATE_HEADERS}
${PUBLIC_HEADERS})
Now I want to get names of all output files for mylib target (on Unix this
would be .so file, but on Windows it would be .dll, .lib and possibly .pdb
files). Is there any better way to get those names without constructing
them manually eg. using get_filename_component from main file? I get the
main file as follows:
  get_property(location TARGET mylib PROPERTY LOCATION)
Are there any other properties that would give me the other names?
