[CMake] Where are Visual Studio *.pdb file located?

[Julian Amann]

In the past i used



set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_DEBUG ../Debug)



to place all my *.exe, *.dll, *.lib and *.pdb files in the ../Debug directory – but with the CMake 2.8.10.1 this seems not to work



all my *.exe, *.dll, *.lib are placed in the ../Debug directory

but the *.pdb files are not stored there



How can I influence where the *.pdb files are stored



Best regards,

Julian

Hi Julian.

CMake 2.8.10 introduced target properties PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>] and
PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>] which you can use to control location of
.pdb files. You can also set variable CMAKE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to
pre-initialise the directory settings.

Thanks Petr – works great

but I wonder why all the pdb files are named in lowercase letters – my lib
name is for example BlueCore.lib and there is a BlueCode.ilk, BlueCore.dll
and so on and a bluecore.pdb (written in lower case letters) – can it also
be name BlueCore.pdb?
