Yes, I was just coming back to confirm it still happens with CMake
2.8.11-rc4.

Is there any way to work around this?  I've tried setting
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES before project(), after project and before
enable_language(), and after enable_language() and nothing works.

:-(.


The only thing I've tried so far that seems to work on Windows (haven't
gone back to try it on the other platforms) is to put the project()
definition inside an if():

  if(WIN32)
      project(MyProject C CXX)
  else()
      project(MyProject NONE)
  endif()
   ...
  if(NOT WIN32)
      enable_language(C)
      enable_language(CXX)
  endif()

I don't know if this will have other bad effects.  It surely is
unpleasant.
