Yes, that's also in the macro. I haven't written it, but IIRC there were problems with CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, different MSVC versions, NMake or GUI and whatnot. Anyway, I still tend to see that as crap. IMHO there should be a simple way to get the location of those files or better providing a simple version to install them. > > When someone adds this please keep in mind that gcc also has the > > possibility to strip the debugging symbols of an object to a different > > file.
