# vcpkg_fixup_cmake_targets
Merge release and debug CMake targets and configs to support multiconfig generators.
Additionally corrects common issues with targets, such as absolute paths and incorrectly placed binaries.
## Usage
```cmake
vcpkg_fixup_cmake_targets([CONFIG_PATH <share/${PORT}>] [TARGET_PATH <share/${PORT}>])
```
## Parameters
### CONFIG_PATH
Subpath currently containing `*.cmake` files subdirectory (like `lib/cmake/${PORT}`). Should be relative to `${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}`.
Defaults to `share/${PORT}`.
### TARGET_PATH
Subpath to which the above `*.cmake` files should be moved. Should be relative to `${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}`.
This needs to be specified if the port name differs from the `find_package()` name.
Defaults to `share/${PORT}`.
## Notes
Transform all `/debug/<CONFIG_PATH>/*targets-debug.cmake` files and move them to `/<TARGET_PATH>`.
Removes all `/debug/<CONFIG_PATH>/*targets.cmake` and `/debug/<CONFIG_PATH>/*config.cmake`.
Transform all references matching `/bin/*.exe` to `/tools/<port>/*.exe` on Windows.
Transform all references matching `/bin/*` to `/tools/<port>/*` on other platforms.
Fix `${_IMPORT_PREFIX}` in auto generated targets to be one folder deeper.
Replace `${CURRENT_INSTALLED_DIR}` with `${_IMPORT_PREFIX}` in configs and targets.
## Examples

* [curl](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/curl/portfile.cmake)
