CMake install destination bin equivalent for Windows

In CMake, the equivalent of the bin directory for installation on Windows is bin itself. However, keep in mind that on Windows, the default install location is usually within the Program Files directory for 64-bit applications or Program Files (x86) for 32-bit applications. Here's how you can specify the install destination for the bin directory using CMake:

cmakeCopy code
# Specify the install destination for executables

install(TARGETS your_target

        RUNTIME DESTINATION bin)

Replace your_target with the actual name of the target executable you want to install. The RUNTIME keyword indicates that you're installing a runtime binary. The DESTINATION keyword specifies the directory where the binary will be installed relative to the installation prefix.

When you run the cmake --build . --target install command after configuring and building your project, the executable will be copied to the specified install directory.

Keep in mind that the actual installation directory on Windows might be dependent on factors such as the chosen CMake generator and the installation prefix. Make sure to adjust the installation prefix and other CMake settings as needed for your project.
