By the way, I had a quick look at the source code
in cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator.cxx for case cmTarget::EXECUTABLE:
replacing
temp = target.GetDirectory(configName);
by
temp = target.GetDirectory("");
seems to do the job of removing additional 'Debug' or 'Release'
directories from the OutputFile executable name.
temp += "/";
temp += targetNameFull;
fout << "\t\t\t\tOutputFile=\""
<< this->ConvertToXMLOutputPathSingle(temp.c_str()) << "\"\n";
Is there a better way, or should I write an option/patch
to strip the configuration directory that can go in the cmake release?
Thanks,
Erwin
