Unfortunately this is working in debug but not in release mode.
Do you really need this in the build tree or only in the install tree ?
Then you should use something like this:
We already have it in the install tree, and is working properly.
I was trying to have the same structure on the build tree without
installing, and possibly without adding POST_BUILD custom commands
This is not supported.
Do you really need this ?
I' ve been asked by the main developer to assemble a build layout that
was resembling the install layout, so to being able to let users to test
and play without installing.
I found on the docs that there is a TARGET property called IMPORT_PREFIX
that can direct the placement of .lib files.
I have found that is possible to use the ../ to specify placement
outside Debug and Release
The problem comes when I want to use the library created with something
like
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${TRGTNAME} optimized "${LINKLIB}" debug
"${LINKLIB}${CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX}")
It seems that in debug mode, the names are expanded based on the target
name while in release they are taken fron the .dll stuff (PREFIX)
Is it possible that this is related to me using .. in PREFIX?
Thanks

Do you really need this in the build tree or only in the install tree ?
Then you should use something like this:
install(TARGETS ${LIB_NAME} RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib
LIBRARY DESTINATION lib)
