As a happy cmake and freerdp user I'd be glad to give a hand on this, but I'm certainly not experienced enough to know all of the cmake's tricks > Generate makefiles: > cmake . yes or create a separate folder and then cmake /path/to/main/cmakelists/ > Generate Eclipse project files: > cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" note that there are also GUIs that propose you with a list of "project type" to do that (but I never used them) > Delete cmake cache: > rm CMakeCache.txt (is there any other way?) not that I know of. But "ccmake .", "make edit_cache", "cmake -DMY_CACHEDVAR=" all edit the cache content There is also "make rebuild_cache", though it does not seem to act exactly the same as "rm CMakeCache.txt + cmake" > configure options: > ccmake .

Using cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release/Debug/... (or setting CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to "Release", "Debug", ... using "ccmake ."), and then you can use 2. Using one option "BUILD_DEBUG" (OPTION(BUILD_DEBUG "Debug mode" ON) in CmakeLists.txt), set to ON or OFF using "cmake -D" or ccmake, and in an "if(BUILD_DEBUG)" statement set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE "Debug") and/or simply add "-g" to the CMAKE_C_FLAGS/CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS in CMakeLists.txt 3. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that when you generate an XCode project (with "cmake -GXcode" ?) you can eventually use XCode IDE to select the build type for the project (as you can do in any usual Xcode project). Don't know whether it's possible in Eclipse or VisualStudio Note that in case CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is set to "Release" (using 1 or 2), a NDEBUG macro is defined that you can use in your code (i.e. cmake generates a Makefile with "gcc -DNDEBUG blabla").
