I just tried using this syntax and it works fine in 2.0.2.  What error 
did you get?

Either way, there is a more official way to solve this problem about 
which I had forgotten when I made the $(IntDir) suggestion.  Look at the 
documentation for TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES:

   cmake --help-command TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES

It describes how to use different libraries for "debug" and "optimized" 
builds.
