Hello!

We use CMake to generate C++ projects for Visual Studio, and this works fine. But now I need the compiled executable to be named different from the project. I.e. project myFoo should generate not myFoo.exe, but yourFoo.exe. In VS I would set the name in Project\Properties\Configuration Properties\Linker\General\Output File, but we need CMake to generate the project this way.


add_executable(yourFoo foo.c)

The name of the executable comes from the first argument to the add_executable command. If for some reason that is not enough, you can uses the OUTPUT_NAME property on the executable to change that.

Documentation is here:
