[CMake] copy generated dll in executable directory

[Michael Jackson]

You probably want something like the following in your CMake file



# ---------- Setup output Directories -------------------------
SET (CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
   ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Bin
   CACHE PATH
   "Single Directory for all Libraries"
   )

# --------- Setup the Executable output Directory -------------
SET (CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
   ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Bin
   CACHE PATH
   "Single Directory for all Executables."
   )

# --------- Setup the Executable output Directory -------------
SET (CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
   ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Bin
   CACHE PATH
   "Single Directory for all static libraries."
   )
