ChatGPT info, my CMake knowledge is limited... CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE has no default value. so empty by default. The cmake snippet below shows how to assign a default value, if needed. I couldn't find a default value in our CMakeList.txt file, or I missed it. STREQUAL is case sensitive. The cmake snippet below shows how to be case-insensitive. Currently testing "Debug", the purpose is to not activate IPO in this case. No impact for the other build types like Release or RelDbg. I have a question about the names of the portable packages. oorexx-5.2.0-13048.opensuse15.x86_64-portable-release.zip <https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx/5.2.0beta/portable/oorexx-5.2.0-13048.opensuse15.x86_64-portable-release.zip/download> They contain "-release" or "-debug" string(TOLOWER "${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}" rexx_build_type) set (zip_name "${CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME}-portable-${rexx_build_type}") I don't understand from where is taken the value of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE. If I'm not wrong, the current cmake command does not pass -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release (or Debug) From the mail you forwarded: > /usr/local/bin/cmake -G 'Unix Makefiles' -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 > -DBUILD_OSX_UNIVERSAL_BINARIES=1 -DBUILD_DMG=1 -DBUILD_SOURCE=1 > -DOS_DIST=macos ../oorexxSVN Cmake snippet by ChatGPT, just sharing in case we need to change something. The bold part assigns a default value to CMAKE-BUILD_TYPE. # Detect whether this is a multi-config generator (e.g. Visual Studio, Xcode) get_property(IS_MULTI_CONFIG GLOBAL PROPERTY GENERATOR_IS_MULTI_CONFIG) if(NOT IS_MULTI_CONFIG) # For single-config generators (Unix Makefiles, Ninja), ensure a default build type. if(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE OR CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE STREQUAL "") set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE "Release" CACHE STRING "Build type" FORCE) endif() endif() # Normalize build type to lowercase for reliable comparison string(TOLOWER "${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}" BUILD_TYPE_LOWER) if(BUILD_TYPE_LOWER STREQUAL "debug") message(STATUS "Configuring for Debug mode") elseif(BUILD_TYPE_LOWER STREQUAL "release") message(STATUS "Configuring for Release mode") elseif(BUILD_TYPE_LOWER STREQUAL "relwithdebinfo") message(STATUS "Configuring for RelWithDebInfo mode") elseif(BUILD_TYPE_LOWER STREQUAL "minsizerel") message(STATUS "Configuring for MinSizeRel mode") else() message(WARNING "Unknown build type: '${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}'") endif()
