Ok, I thinks I didn't explain myself correctly then ... From what I saw there I can use either bindir, libdir or includedir for when I'm installing the completed targets. What I want to do is to locate them before that moment. I noticed that all my libs and binaries are ending up in a hidden .libs directory. What I would like to do is determine exactly where my targets end up in my project directory before I install them. All my binaries on a bin subdirectory for example, or my shared objects in a lib directory, my object files in a obj directory.
