Hi,

Do you mean how to add it to the CMakeLists.txt files? I sometimes use
the target property OUTPUT_NAME:

add_executable(mybin ${sources})
set_target_properties(mybin PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME "mybin${BINARY_POSTFIX}")

Then, you can add your own suffix with:

cmake -DBINARY_POSTFIX=<suffix> ../

If there is any "official" cmake variables to use for this I am not
aware of it (but I am no cmake developer neither).

Cheers,
Yngve
