Gregory,
This should "just work" - have you tried it? Inside of the binary
directory, you'll note that there are "INTDIR" subdirectories named
after the build configs.

Hi all,
While I'm hitting this list today I want to ask a question about
dealing with multiple build configurations in Visual Studio with badly
behaved third-party libraries.
I would like to be able - in the same binary directory / generated
Solution - to build both Debug and Release builds of my project. Some
of the targets in my project depend on third-party libraries that
absolutely must be linked to the same MSVRT as my project due to
misuse of memory resources. This implies that my target has to have
different TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES settings for Release and Debug, but
the configuration choice is not made until we are in the VS IDE, long
after CMake has generated the project. There are also reasons this is
desirable even when not strictly required by bad behavior of the
third-party library.
It's easy enough to update Find scripts to find both debug and release
settings of the same library (a la OpenSceneGraph or Qt) and our
third-party directory structure would support that, but I have no idea
if it's possible to specify configuration-specific link dependencies
for Visual Studio that are correctly honored in the IDE.
Right now we have separate binary directories for Release and Debug
builds of the project. It works, but this greatly frustrates those
on our team who are accustomed to Visual Studio workflow in a single
Solution - of course, me being historically a Linux developer I didn't
think anything of it. It also means that the Debug configuration in
the Release binary directory produces broken code, and vice-versa,
which frequently costs us about 30 minutes when we accidentally build
the wrong configuration without noticing because the IDE always
defaults to Debug after project generation.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
