cmake shared libraries - c++

Question

I'm building app with boost.python. I want to make each cpp-module as a single shared library.
I have a list of cpp-files, how to make in cycle different subprojects with name taken from cpp file?
For example:
set(Script_srcs
Module1.cpp
Module2.cpp
Module3.cpp
)
some_cycle
add_library( {NAME} SHARED {PATH} )
Thanks.

You could use foreach to iterate over your source-files and use a the function get_filename_component with NAME_WE to get only the filename, something like:
set(Script_srcs Module1.cpp Module2.cpp Module3.cpp )
foreach( f ${Script_srcs} )
get_filename_component( ff ${f} NAME_WE )
add_library( ${ff} SHARED ${f} )
endforeach( f )
But, instead of deriving library-names from filenames, why not work the other way around? Derive your filenames from the desired module-names and append ".cpp" in the for-loop:
set( MyModules Module1 Module2 Module3 )
foreach( Mod ${MyModules} )
add_library( ${Mod} SHARED ${Mod}.cpp )
endforeach( Mod )
