[CMake] Remove lib prefix when generating shared lib under Windows

[Thiébault Benoît]

Hi everyone,

I am using CMake to compile VTK using MinGW. The compilation goes with problem, but it generates libvtkXXX.dll and libvtkXXX.dll.a files.
How can I remove this lib prefix to the generated libraries ?

Thank you for your answers

Kind regards,

Benoît

See the CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX, CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_PREFIX and CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX variables or the OUTPUT_NAME target property.

Thank you for the advice, but these variables do not appear in my CMake configuration. Should I add them manually in the CmakeCache.txt file ?
Sorry if this is a newbie question, I'm not very familiar yet with cmake

The variables are not cached. Not sure whether you can override them in the cache. You certainly can do so in the CMakeLists.txt files
