[Cmake] Re: windows .lib .dll output dirs

[Clinton Stimpson]

I found a solution to my problem.  CMake has no support for this, but I 
was able to add post build commands that had the same effect.  If anyone 
is interested.  It uses visual studio macros so it automatically takes 
care of by debug vs. release libs and also that my debug libs and "_d" 
postfixes.


MACRO(SET_LIBRARY_OUTPUTS target outputdir)
IF(UNIX)
SET(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH "${outputdir}"/bin)
ELSE(UNIX)
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(TARGET "${target}"
                   POST_BUILD
                   COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND}
                   ARGS -E copy $\(TargetPath\) "${outputdir}"/bin)

ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(TARGET "${target}"
                   POST_BUILD
                   COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND}
                   ARGS -E copy $\(TargetDir\)/$\(TargetName\).lib 
"${outputdir}"/lib)
ENDIF(UNIX)
ENDMACRO(SET_LIBRARY_OUTPUTS)
