| LOCATION |
| -------- |
| |
| Read-only location of a target on disk. |
| |
| For an imported target, this read-only property returns the value of |
| the LOCATION_<CONFIG> property for an unspecified configuration |
| <CONFIG> provided by the target. |
| |
| For a non-imported target, this property is provided for compatibility |
| with CMake 2.4 and below. It was meant to get the location of an |
| executable target's output file for use in add_custom_command. The |
| path may contain a build-system-specific portion that is replaced at |
| build time with the configuration getting built (such as |
| "$(ConfigurationName)" in VS). In CMake 2.6 and above |
| add_custom_command automatically recognizes a target name in its |
| COMMAND and DEPENDS options and computes the target location. In |
| CMake 2.8.4 and above add_custom_command recognizes generator |
| expressions to refer to target locations anywhere in the command. |
| Therefore this property is not needed for creating custom commands. |
| |
| Do not set properties that affect the location of a target after |
| reading this property. These include properties whose names match |
| "(RUNTIME|LIBRARY|ARCHIVE)_OUTPUT_(NAME|DIRECTORY)(_<CONFIG>)?", |
| ``(IMPLIB_)?(PREFIX|SUFFIX)``, or "LINKER_LANGUAGE". Failure to follow |
| this rule is not diagnosed and leaves the location of the target |
| undefined. |
