Summary0015230: Behavior of relative paths of target properties
DescriptionI was wondering whether relative paths can be used in the LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY property, but this is not documented. @ngladitz confirmed on IRC that paths are resolved against the binary directory, referring to the code[1].

Affected documentation:

It appears to be implemented but not documented or covered in the test suite.

I would not be opposed to the addition of documentation and tests for it, but until that happens I wouldn't recommend depending on the behavior.
