Summary0013576: Empty CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE in VS2012
DescriptionAs part of my build step I'm copying a dll into a project's build folder like this:

ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
    TARGET MyProject
    POST_BUILD
    COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy ${DataLibrary_BINARY_DIR}/Release/DataLibrary.dll ${MyProject_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}/datalibrary.dll
)

But the commands ends up looking like:

C:/work/pd_engine/local/cmake/vs2012/external/datalibrary/Release/DataLibrary.dll C:/work/pd_engine/local/cmake/vs2012/units/myproject//datalibrary.dll

Notice the //.
Steps To ReproduceI assume this should happen at all times and as such should be easy to reproduce by simply trying to use CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE together with VS11.

Multi-configuration generators like MSVC do not have CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE available in this way. Maybe just set OUTPUT_DIRECTORY properties?

Oh, really? I could have sworn that it worked with VS2010, but I could be wrong. If this is the case, I can look into other means of doing the same thing.

From the documentation of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.9/cmake.html#variable:CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE [^]
 "This variable is only supported for make based generators."

See comment 0009974:0029033 for an example of copying DLLs.
