[CMake] generator expression for set_target_properties

[Attila Krasznahorkay]

Hi Lloyd,

You mean like:

if( ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} STREQUAL "Release" )
   set_target_properties( myexec PROPERTIES WIN32_EXECUTABLE TRUE )
endif()

?

Or would you like the build configuration to change in this respect when you change the build type in the IDE? This latter may not be possible to do. But others may very well correct me.

Cheers,
            Attila
