[CMake] Trouble setting LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

[Michael Jackson]

# ---------- Setup output Directories -------------------------
SET (CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
   ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Bin )

# --------- Setup the Executable output Directory -------------
SET (CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
   ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Bin )

# --------- Setup the Executable output Directory -------------
SET (CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
   ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Bin )

Will put every library and executable into a subdirectory called "Bin"
