You can use specialized properties for some configurations: [IMPORTED\_IMPLIB\_\<CONFIG\>](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/IMPORTED_IMPLIB_CONFIG.html) and [IMPORTED\_LOCATION\_\<CONFIG\>](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/IMPORTED_LOCATION_CONFIG.html).

```cmake
SET_PARGET_PROPERTIES(
    ExternFMOD
    PROPERTIES
        IMPORTED_IMPLIB_DEBUG "${_fmod_lib_dir}/fmodL64_vc.lib"
        IMPORTED_IMPLIB "${_fmod_lib_dir}/fmod64_vc.lib"
        IMPORTED_LOCATION_DEBUG "${_fmod_lib_dir}/fmodL64.dll"
        IMPORTED_LOCATION "${_fmod_lib_dir}/fmod64.dll"
)

```
