INSTALL_OBJECT_ONLY_USE_DESTINATION — CMake 4.4.0 Documentation

# INSTALL_OBJECT_ONLY_USE_DESTINATION

Added in version 4.2.

Controls whether the `install(DESTINATION)` for object libraries is used as-is or supplemented with conflict-avoiding subdirectories.

When installing object files, CMake automatically adds `objects[-<CONFIG>]/<TARGET_NAME>` components to the destination to avoid conflicts. Use this property to suppress these components. Note that when using a single install prefix for multiple configurations (whether via multi-config generators or separate build trees), the destination must use `$<CONFIG>` to avoid conflicts. Alternatively, the `INSTALL_OBJECT_NAME` may be used to avoid configuration-based conflicts.

This property is initialized by the value of `CMAKE_INSTALL_OBJECT_ONLY_USE_DESTINATION` when the target is created.
