# RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

Output directory in which to build RUNTIME target files.

This property specifies the directory into which runtime target files should be built. The property value may use `generator expressions`. Multi-configuration generators (Visual Studio, `Xcode`, `Ninja Multi-Config`) append a per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory unless a generator expression is used.

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

See also the `RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>` target property.
