On that note, I also adjusted my CMake Template File with the following
options for windows builds (at the end of the file):
# Disable CMake's default MinSizeRel and RelWithDebugInfo Build Targets for
Visual Studio.
# This WILL error out on the first run. Run it again and everything will be
fine.
IF (CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES AND CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES MATCHES
MinSizeRel)
set (cfgs ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES})
list (REMOVE_ITEM cfgs MinSizeRel)
list (REMOVE_ITEM cfgs RelWithDebInfo)
set (CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES ${cfgs} CACHE STRING "Limited Configs" FORCE)
message (FATAL_ERROR "List of configurations was reset, please re-run
cmake. This message is normal.")
ENDIF (CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES AND CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES MATCHES
MinSizeRel)
IF (MSVC)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE} /MT")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG} /MTd")
ENDIF (MSVC)
That seems to take care of setting that up properly by default. It also
gets rid of the default MinSizeRel and RelWithDebugInfo build targets. It
seems (from my research) to be a known bug that on the first pass CMake
will build those regardless of what you tell it to do, so the easy way is
to throw an error and ask the user to re-run so the cache is fixed.
Hope that helps anyone down the road :).
