my cmake testprojekt has the following structure

rootdir
|-- App
|   |-- app.cpp
|   +-         


        

Answer 1

A solution I prefer that hasn't really been mentioned, is build your shared-libs into the same directory as your executables. This tends to be a much simpler solution.

One way to do this with cmake is

set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin)

Or you can also set output directories based on build flavours.

See how do I make cmake output into a 'bin' dir?
