Summary0000731: Setting target names depending on the build type - patch for Visual Studio 6 generator
DescriptionUsing this patch, a new property can be set for a target to give it a different name for each build type. So even in Visual Studio different library names etc. can be easily defined.

I think this patch solved a lot of reoccurring naming problems.

CMakeLists.txt example:

SET(TARGET_TESTLIB TestLib)
ADD_LIBRARY(${TARGET_TESTLIB} source/TestLib.cpp)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_TESTLIB} PROPERTIES NAME_Debug TestLibsd.lib)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_TESTLIB} PROPERTIES NAME_Release TestLibs.lib)

The property name is NAME_<Build-Type=Debug|Release|RelWithDebInfo|MinSizeRel>

The Visual Studio 6 generator will check this target properties and modify the .dsp file accordingly.

I would be glad if you can integrate this into a next release of CMake, and test it for Visual Studio 7/2003 etc. (I do not have this versions available).

In the file staticLibHeader.dsptemplate, there is a line missing for the Debug target (you can see it in the diff). I had to add it manually because my code depends on it.

 Although this is a nice patch it will not work with executables and utility commands because executables are not renamed. So, this feature will have to wait unil it can be done correctly in all generators and work with custom commands.

 This is supported in CMake 2.6 with the <CONFIG>_OUTPUT_NAME property.
