| <p>Read-only location of a target on disk.</p> | |
| <p>For an imported target, this read-only property returns the value of | |
| the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">LOCATION_<CONFIG></span></code> property for an unspecified configuration | |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><CONFIG></span></code> 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's output file for use in <span class="target" id="index-0-command:add_custom_command"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../command/add_custom_command.html#command:add_custom_command" title="add_custom_command"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">add_custom_command()</span></code></a>. The | |
| path may contain a build-system-specific portion that is replaced at | |
| build time with the configuration getting built (such as | |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$(ConfigurationName)</span></code> in VS). In CMake 2.6 and above | |
| <span class="target" id="index-1-command:add_custom_command"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../command/add_custom_command.html#command:add_custom_command" title="add_custom_command"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">add_custom_command()</span></code></a> automatically recognizes a target name in its | |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">COMMAND</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DEPENDS</span></code> options and computes the target location. In | |
| CMake 2.8.4 and above <span class="target" id="index-2-command:add_custom_command"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../command/add_custom_command.html#command:add_custom_command" title="add_custom_command"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">add_custom_command()</span></code></a> recognizes | |

| 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 | |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(RUNTIME|LIBRARY|ARCHIVE)_OUTPUT_(NAME|DIRECTORY)(_<CONFIG>)?</span></code>, | |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(IMPLIB_)?(PREFIX|SUFFIX)</span></code>, or "LINKER_LANGUAGE". Failure to follow | |
| this rule is not diagnosed and leaves the location of the target | |
| undefined.</p> | |
