Summary0010276: PREFIX "..\" hack does not work for VisualStudio 10.0 any more
DescriptionUsing
  PREFIX="..\".
  RELEASE_SUFFIX=""
  DEBUG_SUFFIX="d"
one can configure CMake in a way that VisualStudio does not output EXEs and DLLs as usual using intermediate directories like this
  MyProject/Release/MyProject.exe
  MyProject/Debug/MyProject.exe
but instead puts the output in one directory like this
  MyProject/MyProject.exe
  MyProject/MyProjectd.exe

This so called prefix hack works fine for VC71, VC80, and VC90 but not any more for VC100.

Question: is there a different way with v2.8 to get rid of VisualStudio's intermediate directories? Or could the prefix hack please be restored?

Any help is apprechiated.
Thanks - Fritz

I have put in a link to the bug that offers the new way to do this.

SET( CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${BULLET_PHYSICS_SOURCE_DIR})
SET( CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_RELEASE ${BULLET_PHYSICS_SOURCE_DIR})
SET( CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_DEBUG ${BULLET_PHYSICS_SOURCE_DIR})

Please see the notes in this issue itself, plus the related bug 0009163 to see how you can use the per-configuration output directories in CMake 2.8.2 or later.

See also this note from Brad King in another related bug: 0010040:0024238

That's the way to achieve the goal without resorting to the "../ prefix hack"

Thanks.
