Now, I can confirm the issue; indeed, the GET_TARGET_PROPERTY() on the LOCATION apparently renders the following SET_TARGET_PROPERTY() on the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ineffective. As I cannot see any reason for this, I'd agree that it should be considered as a bug. Besides, my example was pointless: A simple clash of an executable "main" with a subdirectory of the same name in CMAKE_BINARY_DIR, sorry. :/ Regards, Michael _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
