How do you rename a library filename in CMake?

by

You can change the Prefix, Output Name and Suffix using the set_target_properties() function and the PREFIX / OUTPUT_NAME / SUFFIX property in the following way:

Prefix:

    set_target_properties(new_thing PROPERTIES PREFIX "")

Output Name:

    set_target_properties(new_thing PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME "better_name")

Suffix:

    set_target_properties(new_thing PROPERTIES SUFFIX ".so.1")
