The LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>] properties apply neither
to DLLs nor to static or import libraries since the formers are
considered as runtime targets and the latters as archive targets,
i.e. use the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>] properties for
DLLs and the ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>] properties for
static and import libraries. BTW, do not write to the project's
source tree during the build, e.g. by setting OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
properties to ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} or something below; it's
bad style and might give rise to strange problems.
'hope that helps.

Michael
