Per-config flags are more specific than general flags. Options like -O are config-specific so are better set directly in config- specific places. In general we do not like to depend on flag ordering and prefer to specify a particular flag once rather than overriding it later. The _INIT values are just for initializing the cache entries. You can always specify -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE="-O2" yourself to change the optimization level for the release config. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
