I've asked to a colleague of mine (Kevin Funk, working on the KDE
project), and his suggestion was to use $<TARGET_FILE:pcre2test> or
possibly $<TARGET_PROPERTY:pcre2test,DEBUG_LOCATION> in a SET
statement (instead of GET_TARGET_PROPRETY); see for instance this diff
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/116090/diff/1/#
Hope this helps,
