SET (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ${PGM_FILES}/UPMC/${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} CACHE STRING "Default Install Path" FORCE) IF (MAKE_DEBUGRELEASE) SET (CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "Debug;RelWithDebInfo" CACHE STRING "Debug;RelWithDebInfo" FORCE) SET (RELEASE_BUILD_NAME "RelWithDebInfo") ELSE(MAKE_DEBUGRELEASE) SET (CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "Debug;Release" CACHE STRING "Debug;Release" FORCE) SET (RELEASE_BUILD_NAME "Release") ENDIF (MAKE_DEBUGRELEASE) The keys are CACHE and FORCE.
