Summary0008920: different named for created files of a given target
DescriptionThere are situations where a specific type of file created by a target need to have a different name (see thread "msvc linking problem k3b on windows" on the cmake mailing list)

I suggest to add the following properties

OUTPUT_RUNTIME_NAME
OUTPUT_ARCHIVE_NAME
OUTPUT_LIBRARY_NAME

to the "set_target_properties" command, which enforce developers to be able to change individual types of generated files in a generic way.

For win32 the individual types

OUTPUT_RUNTIME_NAME -> basename for dll/exe files
OUTPUT_ARCHIVE_NAME -> basename for import libraries
OUTPUT_LIBRARY_NAME -> basename for static libraries

To follow the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, and ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY properties which already exist, it should be

  RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME -> basename for dll/exe files
  LIBRARY_OUTPUT_NAME -> basename for UNIX shared libs, nothing on windows
  ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_NAME -> basename for static libs and import libs

Sending issues I'm not actively working on to the backlog to await someone with time for them.

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it:

 http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer or contributor who has the bandwidth to take it on.
