targetprefix

The targetprefix function specifies the file name prefix for the compiled binary target.

#!lua
targetprefix ("prefix")

By default, the system naming convention will be used: a "lib" prefix for POSIX libraries (as in libMyProject.so), and no prefix elsewhere. The targetprefix function allows you to change this default.
