[CMake] linking with .so w/ non-standard names

[Michael Wild]

Perhaps something like this:

set( CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX_bak ${CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX} )
set( CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX )
find_library( ABCD_LIBRARY abcd )
set( CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX ${CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX_bak} )

....

target_link_libraries( a.out ${ABCD_LIBRARY} )
