Hi, Do CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>_INIT variables not automatically populate CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> variables for *custom* configurations?
When I use the _INIT variables for one of the default configuration names, e.g. CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG_INIT or CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE_INIT, they correctly populate their "usage" counterparts, i.e. CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG and CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE respectively. But when I set the _INIT variables for a custom configuration name (created through CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES), e.g. CMAKE_C_FLAGS_LALALAND_INIT, CMake fails the compiler tests, because CMAKE_C_FLAGS_LALALAND does not exist. My setup: *CMakeLists.txt* set( CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/CompilerOptions.cmake" ) project( Test ) add_executable( "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/main.c" ) *CompilerOptions.cmake* set( CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "Debug" "Release" "Lalaland" ) set( CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG_INIT "/Od" ) set( CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE_INIT "/Ox" ) set( CMAKE_C_FLAGS_LALALAND_INIT "/Ob2" ) set( CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG_INIT "/machine:x64" ) set( CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_RELEASE_INIT "/machine:x64" ) set( CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_LALALAND_INIT "/machine:x64" ) The error I get is: > CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set, cmake may not be > built correctly. > Missing variable is: > CMAKE_C_FLAGS_LALALAND > CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set, cmake may not be > built correctly. > Missing variable is: > CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_LALALAND > CMake Error at C:/Program > Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:37 > (try_compile): > Failed to generate test project build system. This is just a simplified example, in my actual usecase I have two custom configurations and both fail to populate their CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> variables from their CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>_INIT variables. Do I have to set the CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>_INIT variables for the default CMake configuration names, but set the actual CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> variables for any custom configurations? I am using CMake 3.10.3 and Visual Studio 11/14 Win64 generator.
