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.
