# LOCATION_<CONFIG>

Read-only property providing a target location on disk.

A read-only property that indicates where a target’s main file is located on disk for the configuration <CONFIG>. The property is defined only for library and executable targets. An imported target may provide a set of configurations different from that of the importing project. By default CMake looks for an exact-match but otherwise uses an arbitrary available configuration. Use the MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG> property to map imported configurations explicitly.

Do not set properties that affect the location of a target after reading this property. These include properties whose names match “(RUNTIME|LIBRARY|ARCHIVE)_OUTPUT_(NAME|DIRECTORY)(_<CONFIG>)?”, `(IMPLIB_)?(PREFIX|SUFFIX)`, or “LINKER_LANGUAGE”. Failure to follow this rule is not diagnosed and leaves the location of the target undefined.
