| Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| Specify output directory for Fortran modules provided by the target. |
| |
| If the target contains Fortran source files that provide modules and |
| the compiler supports a module output directory this specifies the |
| directory in which the modules will be placed. When this property is |
| not set the modules will be placed in the build directory |
| corresponding to the target's source directory. If the variable |
| :variable:`CMAKE_Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY` is set when a target is created its |
| value is used to initialize this property. |
| |
| When using one of the :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` with the Intel Fortran |
| plugin installed in Visual Studio, a subdirectory named after the |
| configuration will be appended to the path where modules are created. |
| For example, if ``Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY`` is set to ``C:/some/path``, |
| modules will end up in ``C:/some/path/Debug`` (or |
| ``C:/some/path/Release`` etc.) when an Intel Fortran ``.vfproj`` file is |
| generated, and in ``C:/some/path`` when any other generator is used. |
| |
| Note that some compilers will automatically search the module output |
| directory for modules USEd during compilation but others will not. If |
| your sources USE modules their location must be specified by |
| :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` regardless of this property. |
