Summary0012301: CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE not set on MinGW
DescriptionCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is not set when using MinGW, which causes problems with loading Qt plugins unless the user manually sets the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE should be preset to debug or release, as it is on most other platforms.

This commit is a better fix for the problem.

If there is no other compelling reason for the build type to have a default for MinGW, then I think we can close this bug.

Isn't an empty CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE valid for MinGW, like it is with Unix Makefiles, unlike with NMake and the MSVC compiler?

I agree with Clinton here. I think his fix regarding the definition of QT_NO_DEBUG is the appropriate fix and we can leave the value of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE empty by default for MinGW. As it is with gcc and Unix Makefiles on other platforms, too.

Feel free to re-open this issue if you think it needs more discussion.
