How do I change the product name for a target?
I made a library project named asl_lib (for the Adobe Source
Libraries), and the product was automatically named libasl_lib.a. I
don't want the lib prefix; I want it to be asl_lib to be consistent
with the existing ASL stuff. I tried renaming the item in the Products
group, but that doesn't seem to have been effective.
Can't be done. The Mac OS X tool chain uses Unix conventions, and the
long-standing convention for libraries is that all libraries are name
"libfoo.x", where 'x' is something like "a" or "dylib" and the
reference to the library is "-lfoo".
If you want to name the library in opposition to these conventions,
then you have to specify the library by full pathname on the
link/compile line and not use "-lfoo". This works for ".a" libraries
on Mac OS X; I have not tried this with ".dylib" libraries.

Justin
