[CMake] Setting build type

Tue Mar 10 21:55:09 EDT 2015

Hello all,

You were correct, when CGAL is built it overrides CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, as
documented here:

http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Manual/installation.html

The solution is to invoke:

cmake -DCGAL_DONT_OVERRIDE_CMAKE_FLAGS=True -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

Thanks for your help!

Adam
