Summary

0001846: installing targets under a different name

Description

cmake has the limitation that it can only understand one target with the same name in one source tree. This is a problem e.g. in kdevelop, where there is a libkdevelop.so and the binary kdevelop. In cmake both targets will have the name kdevelop which will break compilation. If there would be something like

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(kdevelop_executable PROPERTIES INSTALL_AS kdevelop)

the target could get a different name while building ("kdevelop_executable") but when installing it could get the real and expected name.

I discussed this shortly with Andy Cedilnik an the liked the idea:

Notes
(0002533) Ken Martin (developer) 2005-06-21 11:20	SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(kdevelop_executable PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME kdevelop) should do the trick. It will certainly build but there may be an issue with the install target. If there is let me know and reopen this bug.
