<div>Hi Eric, </div><div><br></div>Considering the fact Visual Studio is a multi-configuration system, I don't think using "<span>CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE" is what you want. Indeed, in such case, the build type is know at build time only. See [1]</span><div>

<div>In our different projects, we use an approach similar to this
one:</div>

</div>
<div>
<pre style="word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap"># Set a default build type if none was specified
if(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE AND NOT CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
message(STATUS "Setting build type to 'Debug' as none was specified.")
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug CACHE STRING "Choose the type of build." FORCE)
# Set the possible values of build type for cmake-gui
set_property(CACHE CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE PROPERTY STRINGS "Debug" "Release"
"MinSizeRel" "RelWithDebInfo")
endif()</pre>

<br>
when cmake is run without specifying the build type using -D
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, it is the Debug mode that is selected as<br>
the default. I would like to find a way to use Release as
the default value when the user does not specify any build<br>
type in the cmake command line.<br>
<br>
From one of my previous post concerning CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
variable, I was thinking to use a similar approach i.e.:<br>
<br>
project(Foo)<br>
<br>
if (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE_INITIALIZED_TO_DEFAULT)<br>
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)<br>
endif<br>
<br>
but cmake still sets CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to Debug in the
CMakeCache.txt file.<br>
<br>
Would you have any idea about what is wrong with my
implementation ?<br>
<br>
thanks a lot.<br>
<br>
Eric<br>

Hi Jean-Christophe,<br>
<br>
I found a hack for my problem. First it seems to be a windows
specific problem (I found one other message that <br>
mention this).<br>
<br>
What I did is just to put the following before (compulsory) the
project declaration:<br>
<br>
if (NOT DEFINED CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)<br>
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE CACHE Release STRING "hfsfhskj" FORCE)<br>
endif()<br>
<br>
It would be interesting to get the feedback of the CMake team about
the "uglyness" of such a hack.<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
<br>
Eric<br>
