Hi Kim, Jan,
I'll have a look at how this is done in the OSG CMakelists, For the OSG,
CMake has always defaulted to a debug&release build configuration under
windows, I just presumed that was the norm.
Let's be specific here. There are two separate issues:
1. Whether the CMake scripts ask you for debug libraries or not (and
also whether it's an error if the debug libraries are not found)
2. Whether the Release build is the default.
Issue 2 is the simplest:
On Windows, solution files are generated that contain Debug, Release,
RelWithDebugInfo and MinSizeRelease configurations. That should continue
to be the case. On Linux, you need to specify the configuration you want
at CMake-configure-time (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE). If you don't specify
anything, you get Release.
For both OSG and osgOcean, CMake will generate all four build types on
Windows, and will let you specify what you want in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE on
Linux and build release by default. So we can dismiss issue 2, it's the
same for both OSG and osgOcean.
For issue 1, on *both* Windows and Linux, OSG's CMake will ask you for
the path to debug and release versions of your libraries when it makes
sense. For example, OSG has fields for both release and debug libraries
for COLLADA and Boost. For other libraries it will only ask for release.
I'm not sure what the behavior is when it doesn't find the debug
versions, but it does ask for them.
In the interest of making things simpler for Linux users, I've made a
change to osgOcean's root CMakeLists.txt. If not on Windows, if any of
the _DEBUG libraries are empty or not found, it will use the release
variant in its place. (I think Linux and MacOS X users will want to do
the same thing here)
On Windows that would actually be an error, so CMake will still generate
an error if the debug libs are not found. Since the configuration is
chosen from the Solution file and not at CMake-configure-time, we have
no way of making sure the user will only ever make release builds, so I
prefer to err on the side of safety and require users to have debug OSG
libraries.
Jan, can you update osgOcean and see if that works for you?
Thanks,
J-S
