Hi, By default I would like to set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release (inside CMakeLists.txt) if the user has not defined CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE himself (e.g. as command-line option: cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug). Is there a best practice how to do this in CMake? I have been searching the web to see how other people achieved this and I found that many people use code like this:
if(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE) set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE "Release" CACHE STRING "Choose the type of build, options are: None Debug Release RelWithDebInfo MinSizeRel." FORCE) endif() I used this code myself in one of my projects but I recently discovered that this code causes issues when compiling with clang-cl on Windows. Greetings, Kim
