ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>

Per-configuration output directory for :ref:ARCHIVE <Archive Output Artifacts> target files.

This is a per-configuration version of the :prop_tgt:ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY target property, but multi-configuration generators (:ref:Visual Studio <Visual Studio Generators>, :generator:Xcode, :generator:Ninja Multi-Config) do NOT append a per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. This property is initialized by the value of the :variable:CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> variable if it is set when a target is created.

Contents of ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> may use :manual:generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>.
