IMPORTED_LOCATION

Full path to the main file on disk for an IMPORTED target.

Set this to the location of an IMPORTED target file on disk. For executables this is the location of the executable file. For bundles on macOS this is the location of the executable file inside Contents/MacOS under the application bundle folder. For static libraries and modules this is the location of the library or module. For shared libraries on non-DLL platforms this is the location of the shared library. For frameworks on macOS this is the location of the library file symlink just inside the framework folder. For DLLs this is the location of the “.dll” part of the library. For UNKNOWN libraries this is the location of the file to be linked. Ignored for non-imported targets.

Projects may skip IMPORTED_LOCATION if the configuration-specific property IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG> is set. To get the location of an imported target read one of the LOCATION or LOCATION_<CONFIG> properties.
