+ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
+------------------------
+
+Output directory in which to build ARCHIVE target files.
+
+This property specifies the directory into which archive target files
+should be built. Multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) append a
+per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. There are
+three kinds of target files that may be built: archive, library, and
+runtime. Executables are always treated as runtime targets. Static
+libraries are always treated as archive targets. Module libraries are
+always treated as library targets. For non-DLL platforms shared
+libraries are treated as library targets. For DLL platforms the DLL
+part of a shared library is treated as a runtime target and the
+corresponding import library is treated as an archive target. All
+Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms. This
+property is initialized by the value of the variable
+CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY if it is set when a target is created.
