Summary0010352: Warn, or don't allow without variable set, when trying to build PACKAGE in a debug configuration on MSVC
DescriptionThe MSVC debug runtime (used in the Debug configuration, but not in the RelWithDebInfo config) is not redistributable, so a package built when the configuration is set to Debug (the default for the visual studio generators) will not be usable on machines without that version of visual studio installed.

It would be good to at least warn when attempting to do this, or to make the package build fail unless an override variable is set (in case, for example, something only works in debug and it will be used on another machine with VS installed).

And actually, it looks like InstallRequiredSystemLibraries does install the debug runtimes, which is apparently not permissable (probably a better reference somewhere than this but it is something: http://blogs.msdn.com/jigarme/archive/2008/05/08/vc-debug-c-runtime-files.aspx [^] ).

It looks like this is a configurable option now in CMake 2.8.1 - if I understood the code correctly, I think this can be closed.

Ryan,

Do you still think we should warn at build "package" time when building a Debug package with the MS compiler? Or is the control given in InstallRequiredSystemLibraries as of CMake 2.8.4-rc1 sufficient to address this issue?

Yes, I'm thinking a warning would still be appropriate. The configuration options in the latest InstallRequiredSystemLibraries are useful if you already know this is something to be aware of, but a warning by default might be appreciated.
