Why does build output appear in RELEASE_VS2012x86\X64\blah blah\DEBUG rather than OUTPUT ?

Why does build output appear in RELEASE_VS2012x86\X64\blah blah\DEBUG rather than OUTPUT ?

[Shubha Ramani]

Seems like DEBUG and OUTPUT got switched somehow and I don't know how. The stuff used to appear in OUTPUT but somehow they got switched.
Where do I configure this ?
Thanks,

Shudha,

I think the DEBUG dir is for things that are saved for debugging and OUTPUT is for things not needed for debug so it is just a generic policy in the tools. I think the original concept is you need to save things in DEBUG for future source level debugging and things in OUTPUT can be discarded.

Yes.

The per toolchain build rules in the Conf/build_rule.txt and Conf/tools_def.txt send the build output to the correct location. 

I seem to remember it has always worked this way.
