LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
------------------------
Output directory in which to build LIBRARY target files.
This property specifies the directory into which library 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_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY if it is set when a target is created.
