Hi,
I understand what the manual [1] says about LOCATION property
that it is more or less deprecated. Is that right?
I'm building software (shared libraries and executables) on
both, Linux and Windows (using VS 2005, 2008, 2010) and I'm
trying to find out what would be portable way to get target
output location. It is location of output directory where
toolset genreates .so or .dll files.
I tried LOCATION property but it is empty (on Windows at
least)
get_target_property(MY_TARGET_LOCATION ${MY_TARGET} LOCATION)
get_target_property(MY_TARGET_LOCATION ${MY_TARGET}
LOCATION_${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)) ?
It does not help.
As I mentioned in my original post, ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} is empty
when you generate Visual Studio projects.
I didn't look into the specifics of your problem, but would it be a
solution to configure _all_ locations into a CMake script which
performs your required action at build/test time?
I haven't mention that. I try to keep default CMake build tree
layout. Regardless how simple changes it would require, IMHO,
messing with *_OUTPUT properties overrides portability
provided by CMake out of the box and would require manual
handling.
I define target for CMake and CMake knows where to output files.
Now, simply, I would like to ask "Dear CMake, tell me please where do
you send my binaries".
Can I do it? How?

I could pass CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, but this would be available once
when configuration is performed. Then, form Visual Studio IDE
user can change configuration which CMake settings will not be aware of.
