<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to globally set target properties for an entire configuration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Specifically, I need to remove the prefix “lib” from all statically linked libraries I build.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I already used CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX “” such that all libraries I explicitly link to will not have CMake search for libraries of format “libfoo.a” but rather “foo.a” when I specify “foo.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, I cannot seem to globally specify that all target libraries which are statically linked which I build have the prefix removed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have tried set_target_properties with Unix wildcards to no avail.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have also tried set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY PREFIX “”) and set_property(TARGET PROPERTY PREFIX “”) which were both unsuccessful (or maybe I needed to force the cache, but cache was already an argument in the usage statement providing
other functionality so I assumed its normal functionality as an argument was unavailable).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could not find any help on Google either.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is also the possibility this is impossible to do with CMake, so if someone can verify that I would also be appreciative.<o:p></o:p></p>
