Thanks Bill. Though I don't particularly like the idea, I thought I would
give it a try anyway. However, because I am still working on that plugin, I
currently need to refer to my 'plugin' when linking my application (i.e.
within TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES). And, when doing that, I get a linking error
about my 'plugin' not being found. If I change the name of my plugin project
back to "Help", then the linking works fine. Interestingly, in both cases
and as expected, the 'plugin' is properly generated. It's just that if the
project name for my 'plugin' is not the same as the filename for the
corresponding binary, then it can't be found during linking...!?
So, I can see your suggestion to work if my 'plugin' was working as a proper
plugin (i.e. no need to refer to it from within TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES for my
application), but that's the case yet, so it doesn't work for me...
I would have to see the code, but it should work. If you are using
target_link_libraries with the target name (the correct thing to do),
you will need to change the target name in that spot as well.
Like this:
add_library(myhelp help.c)
set_target_properties(myhelp PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME Help)
add_executable(foo foo.c)
target_link_libraries(foo myhelp)
