We can use CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to set the configuration type: cd debug cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. cmake --build . cd ../release cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
And for me, it's a lot easier to do 2 clicks in my IDE to change build types than open a command prompt, navigate to my build root, then type cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
Specifies the build type on single-configuration generators. This statically specifies what build type (configuration) will be built in this build tree. Possible values are empty, Debug , Release , RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel .
CMake has several default build types, but if nothing is specified when configuring your project it defaults to an empty string and no optimization flags are used.
I am trying to differentiate between a debug and release build.
If a debug build is in progress I want to install myLibd in /usr/local/lib. If a release build is in progress I want to install myLib in /usr/local/lib.
Here is my approach
IF(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES RELEASE)
SET(LIB_NAME myLib)
ELSE()
SET(LIB_NAME myLibd)
ENDIF(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES RELEASE)
ADD_LIBRARY(${LIB_NAME} ${Source_files} ${Header_files})
INSTALL(TARGETS ${LIB_NAME} DESTINATION /usr/local/lib)
However, the target name is in both cases (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug or Release) always myLibd. What is the problem here?
