Hi Folks,
Is the CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES flag and the associated logic still
in use, or has it been deprecated in favor of some other build-type-
selection mechanism? I can find precious little information about
this online.
I'm working on a cmake-driven project which I would like to be as
general as possible. There are some mentions in the existing
CMakeLists code of CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES and CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR,
but I can't tell if these are relics or codepaths that would still be
actively used under certain circumstances.
If this mechanism is used, could someone answer some questions about
how to formulate a CMakeLists to make use of it? Specifically, I can
imagine two possible ways this variable could be used by CMake:
(1) The CMakeLists must manually loop over each configuration in
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES to do some manual file additions or whatnot.
Sample usage under this model:
FOREACH(config ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES})
SET(FOO "${BINARY_DIR}/${config}")
CONFIGURE_FILE(${FILE} ${OUTFILE} IMMEDIATE)
ENDFOREACH(config)
(2) CMake implicitly re-runs the CMakeLists for each separate
configuration type, setting CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR differently for each.
E.g.:
SET(FOO "${BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}")
CONFIGURE_FILE(${FILE} ${OUTFILE} IMMEDIATE)
and that code will get run by CMake one time for each configuration
type.
Are either of these really the case? If CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES
should still be used, in what manner should they be handled?
Thanks,
Zach
