AFAIK, the LOCATION property is deprecated right because it doesn't work well with different configurations, see [1] and especially [2]. > Is there another API to retrieve the path to a dll file generated by > cmake from its target name ? Have you already tried the LOCATION_<CONFIG> target property? ^^^^^^^^^ Perhaps, you might also use the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>] and [RUNTIME_]OUTPUT_NAME[_<CONFIG>] target properties to pre-construct the target's full path, possibly in junction with the <CONFIG>_POSTFIX and PREFIX properties or the CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_(PREFIX|SUFFIX)[_<LANG>] variables. In CMake 2.8.4, there will be generator expressions for custom targets/ commands, so if you need the target's full path within the latters, you should take a look at the latest 2.8.4 RC.
