Add support for removing the 'lib' prefix on libraries. #110

Closed jmgao closed 5 years ago

jmgao commented 5 years ago

The names of Windows DLLs generally aren't prefixed with 'lib'. Meson calls this name_prefix.

Your use case for this is building a DLL file from MinGW right? An easier solution might be to always remove the lib from MinGW-built DLLs; it's not actually clear to me if outputting libfoo.dll by default is the right behavior. In fact, after consulting the MinGW docs briefly, it seems that not having the lib prefix is the (an?) accepted way to do things: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/sampledll.

(Customizing the lib prefix is still something bfg should do, but I think that should be reserved for more-esoteric cases than this. This case should Just Work.)

Yep. That sounds reasonable to me.
