cmake : shared library : how to get the .lib name instead of .dll name?

Question

Under Windows, with cmake I generate a shared library and an executable.

The shared lib generate 2 files, a .DLL and a .LIB

I use add_custom_command with $<TARGET_FILE:mylibname>, this output the name of the .DLL file.

But, I need the name of the .LIB file.

How can I do ? Any idea ?

Just know that Cmake does not want you to use these things and they may have unexpected values in unexpected situations. If you need these, you're probably going at it the wrong way — rubenvb, Jan 31 '18 at 15:47

Just found how, maybe it will be useful for someone else, so I share.

Simply use TARGET_LINKER_FILE instead of TARGET_FILE !
