I've asked to a colleague of mine (Kevin Funk, working on the KDE project), and his suggestion was to use $<TARGET_FILE:pcre2test> or possibly $<TARGET_PROPERTY:pcre2test,DEBUG_LOCATION> in a SET statement (instead of GET_TARGET_PROPRETY); see for instance this diff https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/116090/diff/1/# Hope this helps, Giuseppe D'Angelo -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
