+IMPORTED_LOCATION
+-----------------
+
+Full path to the main file on disk for an IMPORTED target.
+
+Set this to the location of an IMPORTED target file on disk. For
+executables this is the location of the executable file. For bundles
+on OS X this is the location of the executable file inside
+Contents/MacOS under the application bundle folder. For static
+libraries and modules this is the location of the library or module.
+For shared libraries on non-DLL platforms this is the location of the
+shared library. For frameworks on OS X this is the location of the
+library file symlink just inside the framework folder. For DLLs this
+is the location of the ".dll" part of the library. For UNKNOWN
+libraries this is the location of the file to be linked. Ignored for
+non-imported targets.
+
+Projects may skip IMPORTED_LOCATION if the configuration-specific
+property IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG> is set. To get the location of an
+imported target read one of the LOCATION or LOCATION_<CONFIG>
+properties.
