Of course yours will print something, as you're clearly setting the variable
right above your message() call. I'm printing it without setting it first,
as I do not want to change the output location of my binaries. The default
should be ./Debug or ./Release, depending on the configuration. Yours looks
like it will place both release and debug executables in the same directory,
which I do not want. How do I get the default output location for my
binaries?
