Hi,

version of CPPTASKS.
It's

> I've found a problem with static libs for gcc: even
if the xml name of the
> lib is "x", while outtype="shared" correctly creates
a libx.so,
> outtype="static" creates x.a, and not the expected
libx.a.
> The loader will fail, of course, since it expects
libx.*, not x.*.

getOutputFileName in

is solves my problem.

things, or if there is any
