How to resolve this conflict between the configure step (cmake) and<br>
the build step (cmake --build)?<br>
<br>
The latter won't work without the option "--config Debug";<br>
but if that option is given, then it looks for a nonexistent directory.<br>
<br>
The same problem occurs with "--config Release".<br>
