In Visual Studio and other IDEs, the user picks which configuration to build from a drop-down, so you can't know which thing you're going to build at CMake ime. It's a huge pain in the butt for build development (though quite useful for IDE users). Some things that help a lot are: - CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR, which basically resolves to $(OutDir) in VS. Check the docs for more details. - Most of the key properties (COMPILE_DEFINITION, LINK_FLAGS) have _DEBUG and _RELEASE variants that are applied only to those build configs. Poke around in the archives with some of those keywords to see more examples. tyler _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
