How to not add Release or Debug to output path?
cmake
Solution
A similar question was asked a few months ago, where I advised the use of target properties and also referred to another answer. For MSVC you can completely specify the locations of executables, libraries, archives, etc. on a per-configuration basis.
E.g. using something like:
if ( MSVC )
set_target_properties( ${targetname} PROPERTIES LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${youroutputdirectory} )
set_target_properties( ${targetname} PROPERTIES LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_DEBUG ${youroutputdirectory} )
set_target_properties( ${targetname} PROPERTIES LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_RELEASE ${youroutputdirectory} )
# etc for the other available configuration types (MinSizeRel, RelWithDebInfo)
endif ( MSVC )
which will put all your libraries in a single output-directory ${youroutputdirectory}, whether it is in Debug or Release config.
Problem
Here is my current settings for output : ``` set( EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin") set( LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin") set( RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin") ``` But for some reason I do not want (MSVS) put out files to bin/Release or Debug folders in my bin folder. Can I realize it using CMake somehow? thank you
