[CMake] Fail target if buildtype is not RelWithDebInfo

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi Thomas,

you should be able to make this work using the variable CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR:

if (WIN32)
  add_custom_target(msi-installer
    COMMAND IF NOT "${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}" == "RELWITHDEBINFO" (echo
"msi-installer only works for build type RELWITHDEBINFO" && exit 1)
    COMMAND ...)
endif()

Petr
