Assuming that command actually triggers a reconfigure (when previously configured with a different CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE), you'll most likely hose incremental builds of the other build type(s). (And if it doesn't trigger a reconfigure in that case, it's pretty certainly not doing what you want.) > What would best practice be to provide convenient commands for our > developers to easily build the target ? For the Makefile generator, best practice is to use separate build directories (i.e., places where you run cmake) for different configurations (i.e., different settings recorded during the configuration step). If you want to provide developers with some known set(s) of configuration settings, I suggest wrapper scripts that invoke cmake with those settings. -- Braden McDaniel <bra...@endoframe.com> -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
