Visual Studio and Xcode are special cases where you can select in the
IDE which type of build to run. If you are generating Makefiles then
you need to set the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE in cmake _before_ generating the
makefiles. The easiest way to achieve this is to run ccmake and then
select the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable and either put in "Debug" or
"Release".
CMake only supports one build type per build tree. So you will need
to create 2 build trees, one for Debug and one for Release. Does this
help?

Hi
I read on the CMake wiki page that:
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is not initialized with a readable value at
configuration time. This is because the user is free to select a
build type at build time. Now in visual studio 6/visual studio 8
2005 we can select the build type by selecting Debug/Release after
opening the workspace/solution. But how can the same be achieved in
Linux? After my makefiles are generated using cmake, I want to
first build the Debug mode and then the release mode. But how do I
select which build type to select while building? Please advise.
Thanks and Regards
