Just FYI, I usually put in the "Target filname" this :

bin\$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)\$(BuildMode)\projectname

and in the "Unit output directory" this :

lib\$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)\$(BuildMode)


The result is that I have a dir structure dependent on OS, CPU and 
BuildMode values .

i.e.

CPU=i386
OS=win32
BuildMode=debug

bin\i386-win32\debug with lib\i386-win32\debug

CPU=i386
OS=win32
BuildMode=release

bin\i386-win32\release with lib\i386-win32\release

CPU=x86_64
OS=win64
BuildMode=test_for_scm

bin\x86_64-win64\test_for_scm with lib\x86_64-win64\test_for_scm

etc
