<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hello Petr,<br></div>i don't understand how this solves the problem, but indeed it does!<br><br>Still i have one small problem. To make regeneration of a clean project as easy as possible, i have a batch file, which first clears all generated data (including cmake cache), an then runs cmake. Since this fails now the first time, i have to run cmake twice in this batch file, but if other errors occour, i get output twice.<br>
<br></div>Maybe if i could understand why your solution works, i could come up with one that works without running cmake once again?<br><br></div>Thanks so far!<br>Janosch<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>thanks for your reply, i tried this, but in my case it doesn't work. I made a function that first sets the configuration types (using your line of code) and then calls the project function. Using this function instead of the project function itself, still all configurations are beeing generated.<br>

did was we created a module called BuildTypes.cmake and include it first thing in every list file. The file has one line of code in it that looks like this:<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, I have problems reducing available configuration types for a Visual Studio project.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No matter what I do, the project always contains all four configuration types.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have two files involved, I tried to strip everything that seemed to be unimportant:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">CmakeLists.txt (Main file):<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">------------------------------------<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">include("... Helpers.cmake")<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">configureMyProject("MyProject")<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">message("Config types (outside): ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES}")<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">------------------------------------<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Helpers.cmake:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">------------------------------------<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">if(__myhelpers)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> return()<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">endif()<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">set(__myhelpers YES)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">function(configureMyProject MY_NAME ........)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "Debug;RelWithDebInfo" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> message("Config types (before): ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES}")
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> project(${MY_NAME})
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> message("Config types (after): ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES}")
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "Debug;RelWithDebInfo" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> message("Config types (after 2): ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES}")<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> ...<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> add_library(...)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> ...<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">endfunction()<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">------------------------------------<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I then get the following output:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">------------------------------------<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Config types (before): Debug;RelWithDebInfo<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Config types (after): Debug;Release;MinSizeRel;RelWithDebInfo<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Config types (after 2): Debug;RelWithDebInfo<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Config types (outside): Debug;RelWithDebInfo<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">------------------------------------<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So it seems to me, that the call of the project-function resetted the configuration types and created then the project accordingly.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Does anyone know a workaround?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
