<p>Read-only location of a target on disk.</p>
<p>For an imported target, this read-only property returns the value of
the LOCATION_&lt;CONFIG&gt; property for an unspecified configuration
&lt;CONFIG&gt; provided by the target.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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
&#8220;$(ConfigurationName)&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>Do not set properties that affect the location of a target after
reading this property. These include properties whose names match
&#8220;(RUNTIME|LIBRARY|ARCHIVE)_OUTPUT_(NAME|DIRECTORY)(_&lt;CONFIG&gt;)?&#8221;,
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">(IMPLIB_)?(PREFIX|SUFFIX)</span></code>, or &#8220;LINKER_LANGUAGE&#8221;. Failure to follow
this rule is not diagnosed and leaves the location of the target
undefined.</p>
