# LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

Output directory in which to build LIBRARY target files.

This property specifies the directory into which library target files should be built. The property value may use `generator expressions`. Multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) append a per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory unless a generator expression is used.

This property is initialized by the value of the variable CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY if it is set when a target is created.

See also the `LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>` target property.
