well that any convention that YOU want, since there is no standard outside of what YOU desire, means you need to apply naming conventions to meat YOUR criteria. > >> And yes, especially as a library developer you have to be aware of things. > > Why? > Becuase it's something YOU desire, that the rest of the world rarely uses. I've seen less than half a dozen projects that attempt to do that, and then have to fight with converting their projects to use just standard names of libraries I already have (strip off _debug and d's appended to library names for no good reason). The product of a single build type is put in a single place all together, so why would there ever be a mixture. How many libraries under linux actually install realease and debug together? and under windows there is no particular standard for where to install things, so it's entirely open for you to manipulate how you want. > Olaf > _______________________________________________ > Powered by www.kitware.com > > Visit other Kitware open-source projects at > http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html > > Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: > http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ > > Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: > http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake > _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
