IMPORTED_LOCATION
-----------------
Full path to the main file on disk for an ``IMPORTED`` target.
Set this to the location of an ``IMPORTED`` target file on disk. For
executables this is the location of the executable file. For ``STATIC``
libraries and modules this is the location of the library or module.
For ``SHARED`` libraries on non-DLL platforms this is the location of the
shared library. For application bundles on macOS this is the location of
the executable file inside ``Contents/MacOS`` within the bundle folder.
For frameworks on macOS this is the location of the
library file symlink just inside the framework folder. For DLLs this
is the location of the ``.dll`` part of the library. For ``UNKNOWN``
libraries this is the location of the file to be linked. Ignored for
non-imported targets.
The ``IMPORTED_LOCATION`` target property may be overridden for a
given configuration ``<CONFIG>`` by the configuration-specific
:prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG>` target property. Furthermore,
the :prop_tgt:`MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG>` target property may be
used to map between a project's configurations and those of an imported
target. If none of these is set then the name of any other configuration
listed in the :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS` target property may be
selected and its :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG>` value used.
To get the location of an imported target read one of the :prop_tgt:`LOCATION`
or ``LOCATION_<CONFIG>`` properties.
For platforms with import libraries (e.g. Windows) see also
:prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_IMPLIB`.
