Hi,
I set my project's CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES variable with some custom
configurations (e.g. GuiDebug, GuiRelease, ConsoleDebug, ConsoleRelease).
Each of them have their own compilation flags, which is great,
especially for visual studio users that don't want to bother with a
config.h.in file but prefer a nice, expressive configuration list. This
works just fine.
Unfortunately, there is a showstopper : when it comes to linking, tell
me if I am wrong, there is no way to express which configuration type
should link against which library. In particular, all my configuration
types end up linking against the release version of my 3rd party libraries.
1st possible solution :
Is there a way to specify libraries to link with, using a
XX_<CONFIG>-style variable ?
2nd possible solution :
Is there a way to specify, for each configuration type I declare in
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES, if it is a "debug" or "optimized"
configuration ? A quick look at cmake sources makes me think that the
relation between a configuration type and its debug/optimized flavour is
hardcoded so that only config types named Debug (or deBUg or DEbuG) are
considered to be debug-flavoured configs. Which is embarrassing because
GuiDebug and ConsoleDebug would love to link against Qt debug libraries
for instance.
I would prefer to achieve the 2nd solution because it would be
compatible with existing cmake modules.
Kind regards
Cyril
