[CMake] target_link_libraries buggy with visual studio?

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi,

are you setting the global property DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS anywhere? If
not, cmake does not know which configurations are supposed to be
debug, so it treats all of them as optimized. Try adding the following
after the two set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES ...) commands:

set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS DebugOpenGL DebugDX11)
