I've found a weird behavior which appears when trying to redefine the
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES variable under the following conditions:
- The cmake.exe frontend is used
- A Visual Studio generator is used
- CMake 2.6 RC5, probably previous versions as well
Given the following CMakeLists.txt (with a trivial foo.c):
project(foo)
set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "Debug;Release;FooBar" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)
add_executable(foo foo.c)
I would have expected it to generate a solution with a configuration
named "FooBar", but it doesn't. However, the configuration appears when
I rerun cmake. The difference is that the second time the value is in
the cache when cmake starts.
Running cmake like this also works:
cmake -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES=Debug;Release;FooBar
I would characterize this as a bug, since it isn't possible to run
cmake.exe once and have the CMakeLists.txt set the variable properly.
