Change Extension of Library?

Question

Is there a way to change a shared library's extension, only on windows from ".dll" to something else?

add_library(mylib SHARED <src>)

So instead of creating a mylib.dll file i need it to be something else like mylib.dla.

Answer 1

Set the target's SUFFIX property, i.e.:

add_library(mylib SHARED <src>)
set_target_properties(mylib PROPERTIES SUFFIX ".dla")
