Do we always need output_name? #51

Closed NOhs closed 6 years ago

NOhs commented 6 years ago

I am currently writing the user guide and I noticed that while it is nice to have a simple name for the target and maybe are more complex name for the output file, by default it would be nice if the target name would be taken over if no output_name is given.

[myexe]

should produce myexe.exe on Windows while

[myexe]
output_name = "MyApp-v1.0-test1234"

should of course behave like before.

I thought that is what happens, that output_name is only needed when it is supposed to be different from the target name for some reason - does [myexe] on it's own produce something else on Windows instead?

GPMueller commented 6 years ago

Verified that it works.

default output name of a target is "main"
when a target name is given, such as [myexe], that will be the output name
when output_name= "..." is specified, that will be the output name
