[Cmake] How to change the default output file name for libraries in Linux

[William A. Hoffman]

I have created cmake files for swig, you can find them here:

ftp:/public.kitware.com/pub/cmake/contrib/SwigCMake.6.tar.gz.
It requires cvs cmake to run the swig  tests, but you should
be able to use most of the basic swig stuff from cmake if you look
at the CMake directory in that tar file.

For creating a library from swig I use this macro:


MACRO(ADD_SWIG_LIBRARY LANGUAGE LIBNAME SOURCES)
  SET(SWIG_LIB_PREFIX "")
  IF("${LANGUAGE}" MATCHES "^python$")
    SET(SWIG_LIB_PREFIX "_")
  ENDIF("${LANGUAGE}" MATCHES "^python$")
  # tcl does not use MODULES 
  IF("${LANGUAGE}" MATCHES "^tcl$")                                             
    ADD_LIBRARY("${SWIG_LIB_PREFIX}${LIBNAME}" SHARED ${SOURCES})               
  ELSE("${LANGUAGE}" MATCHES "^tcl$")                                            
    ADD_LIBRARY("${SWIG_LIB_PREFIX}${LIBNAME}" MODULE ${SOURCES})               
  ENDIF("${LANGUAGE}" MATCHES "^tcl$")   
  IF(${LANGUAGE} MATCHES "java")
  ELSE(${LANGUAGE} MATCHES "java")
    SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES("${SWIG_LIB_PREFIX}${LIBNAME}" PROPERTIES PREFIX "")
  ENDIF(${LANGUAGE} MATCHES "java")
  IF(SWIG_SOURCE_DIR)
    IF(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
      ADD_DEPENDENCIES("${SWIG_LIB_PREFIX}${LIBNAME}" swig)
    ENDIF(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
  ENDIF(SWIG_SOURCE_DIR)
ENDMACRO(ADD_SWIG_LIBRARY)
