RE: [CMake] Problem with CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX on windows

Title: Problem with CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX on windows
After a bit more investigation - the problem is that setting CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX to .xll causes cmake to forget that ".dll" is still a valid library name on windows.
 
My workaround: I have discovered a new variable CMAKE_EXTRA_LINK_EXTENSIONS which enables me to remind cmake that .dll is still valid, so I have to use both together -
 
SET(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX ".xll")
SET(CMAKE_EXTRA_LINK_EXTENSIONS ".dll")
This fixes the link name problem outlined previously and means dependencies work also.
A better solution might be for the CMake module Windows.cmake to define
    SET(CMAKE_EXTRA_LINK_EXTENSIONS ".dll")
 
so that there is no chance of cmake forgetting that ".dll" is still valid if I redifine CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX.

Subject: [CMake] Problem with CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX on windows

Hi

I have come across a problem when using the cmake version 2.5-20060419 with the Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003 generator.

When building an C++ Excel add-in ie with CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX set to ".xll" and linking to standard dll's, the optimized libs set in TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES end up with the format MyLib.dll.lib instead of MyLib.lib

The debug libs are set correctly to MyLib-D.lib

---
As a bit of extra info - hardwiring the linked library to the lib suffix - ie changing
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(TestLibA
        optimized TestLib debug TestLib-D )

to

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(TestLibA
        optimized TestLib.lib debug TestLib-D.lib)

fixes the problem, but then of course dependency information is lost.

Looking at the code, a fix looks non-trivial but if you have any pointers, would be apreciated.

Regards
Ian
