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 :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG>` is set. To get the location
of an imported target read one of the :prop_tgt:`LOCATION` or
``LOCATION_<CONFIG>`` properties.
The ``IMPORTED_LOCATION`` target property may be overridden for a
given configuration ``<CONFIG>`` by the configuration-specific
:prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG>` target property. Furthermore,
the :prop_tgt:`MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG>` target property may be
used to map between a project's configurations and those of an imported
target. If none of these is set then the name of any other configuration
listed in the :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS` target property may be
selected and its :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG>` value used.
To get the location of an imported target read one of the :prop_tgt:`LOCATION`
or ``LOCATION_<CONFIG>`` properties.
