In CMake, I can't seem to output my library in ../out/library, only library. When I do the ../out/library path, it tells me it can't find the library, as if it wants to link to it.
add_library(../out/JE3D ../source/CDeviceLayerSDL.cpp)
There's more files, I'm just saving space. When I do that, I get this error.
Linking CXX static library lib../out/JE3D.a /usr/bin/ar: lib../out/JE3D.a: No such file or directory make[2]: * [lib../out/JE3D.a] Error 1 make[1]: * [CMakeFiles/../out/JE3D.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2
Run cmake-gui.exe, which should be in your Start menu under Program Files, there may also be a shortcut on your desktop, or if you built from source, it will be in the build directory.
The LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
target property specifies the directory where library target files will be built.
set_target_properties(JE3D PROPERTIES LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/out/library)
If all the libraries are in one directory, I find it more convenient to set the CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
variable, which is used to initialize the LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
property when creating a target.
set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/out/library)
Edit: Check comments if your target is a static library
