[Cmake] FW: Studio 7 Debugging types

[Brian O'Kennedy]

Hi, 

I've been having some problems forcing CMake to set specific debug types
(/Z7 in this case) for Visual Studio .NET 2003. I've downloaded the simple
cmakeExample.tar.gz (http://www . cmake . org/HTML/Examples . html) and tested the
following. 

Generating a solution from this sets Project Options->C/C++->General->Debug
Information Format = Program Database (/Zi)
under both Debug and Release build types. 

This is not quite what I'd expect from looking at the the following advanced
options in CMakeSetup:
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE = /MD /O2
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG   = /MDd /Zi /Od /GZ

Surely this means that Debug builds should have Program Database (/Zi) and
Release builds no debugging info at all?

What I'm trying to do is force /Z7 debugging info for Debug builds, and no
debugging info for Release builds by setting the advanced options in
CMakeSetup to:

CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE = /MD /O2
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG   = /MDd /Z7 /Od /GZ

This however still generates a solution with /Zi as the debugging format.
What it DOES do is add /Z7 to Project Options->C/C++->Command
Line->Additional Options. 

What seems to happen here is that Studio still has a /Zi included in the
options, no matter what you specify in the CMAKE_CXX flag options.  

Any idea how I can force CMake to force VStudio to generate /C7 debugging
info?

Many Thanks,
 Brian
