<div>Hi</div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman, serif" size="2"> </font></div>
<div>I am writing CMakeLists.txt files for my C++ application. Initially I set the C++ compiler flags by setting CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>set( CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-Wall -m64 -O3 " )</div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman, serif" size="2"> </font></div>
<div>Then I realised that those flags get passed to the linker as well, which seemed a bit untidy. So I now use add_definitions instead:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>add_definitions( "-Wall -m64 -O3" )</div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman, serif" size="2"> </font></div>
<div>Is there a better way of doing this?</div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman, serif" size="2"> </font></div>
<div>My CMakeLists.txt files only handle a release build currently. If you could give me a hint for how to go on to add a debug build option, I would be grateful.</div>
