cmake - handling executable and library with same name

CMakeLists.txt

# Lets say we want to add a library and an executable, both with the same name. 
# In this example, it is resman

add_library(resman ${src_cpps} ${src_hpps} )
target_link_libraries(resman ${Boost_LIBRARIES} ${LIBYAML} ${LIBFMT})
#
# Add resman executable
#
# We call the executable resman-bin
add_executable(resman-bin main.cpp ) 
target_link_libraries(resman-bin resman)
# now we rename resman-bin executable to resman using target properties
set_target_properties(resman-bin
        PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME resman)
#

Thank you

Thanks!!

Cheers!

Thanks !

👏

OUTPUT_NAME doesn't work with MSVC as it issues /implib with the same name as the library resulting in LNK1149 error. What does work is to use RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME

👏

thank you!

Heh, thanks a lot!
