INSTALL_NAME_DIR

Directory name for installed targets on Apple platforms.

INSTALL_NAME_DIR is a string specifying the directory portion of the "install_name" field of shared libraries on Apple platforms for installed targets. When not set, the default directory used is determined by :prop_tgt:MACOSX_RPATH. If the :prop_tgt:BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_NAME_DIR property is set, this will be used already in the build tree. Policies :policy:CMP0068 and :policy:CMP0042 are also relevant.

This property is initialized by the value of the variable :variable:CMAKE_INSTALL_NAME_DIR if it is set when a target is created.

This property supports :manual:generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>. In particular, the :genex:$<INSTALL_PREFIX> generator expression can be used to set the directory relative to the install-time prefix.

On platforms that support runtime paths (RPATH), refer to the :prop_tgt:INSTALL_RPATH target property. Under Windows, the :genex:TARGET_RUNTIME_DLLS generator expression is related.
