[CMake] CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY without the extra 'Debug' or 'Release' ?

[Erwin Coumans]

Hi,

How can we specify the actual directory where the executable ends up in
MSVC, without any messing around by adding 'Debug' or "Release'?

I tried the following lines:

SET( CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${BULLET_PHYSICS_SOURCE_DIR})
SET( CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_RELEASE ${BULLET_PHYSICS_SOURCE_DIR})
SET( CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_DEBUG ${BULLET_PHYSICS_SOURCE_DIR})

But the generated MSVC projectfiles still add 'Debug', 'Release' to the
directory. How can this additional 'Debug' or 'Release' be removed?

http://www.itk.org/Bug/view.php?id=8555 suggests using the following hack:
if(MSVC)
   set_target_properties(foo PROPERTIES PREFIX "../")
endif()

The issue was discussed a few times in the bug tracker, but I couldn't make
it work with CMake 2.8.

The issue was also brought up without any solution here (I do not want to
use install targets)

Can someone help get rid of this additional 'Debug' or 'Release' appended to
the CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY in MSVC?
Thanks,
Erwin
