[CMake] /MT with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

[Thomas Wilkens]

Hello CMake experts,

I am experiencing a problem when trying to build .sln and .vcproj files for 
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with CMake 2.2.2: all projects in our solution 
(DICOM Toolkit "DCMTK") need to be compiled using the "Multithreaded" (or 
"Multithreaded debug" for debug configurations) code generation option 
instead of "Multithreaded DLL" (or "Multithreaded DLL debug" for debug 
configurations), but I am not able to create corresponding project files 
with CMake.

When I start MS Visual Studio 2005 (making use of the project files which 
were generated by CMake), the project properties always show "Multithreaded 
DLL" (or "Multithreaded DLL debug" for debug configurations) in the C/C++ / 
Code Generation / Runtime Library settings. The compiler option "/MT" (or 
"MTd") that I specified in my CMakeLists.txt file always only occurs in the 
C/C++ / Command Line / Additional options textbox.

Here is the corresponding excerpt from my CMakeLists.txt file:

This CMakeLists.txt file works fine with (CMake 2.0.6 and) MS Visual C++ 6 
and MS Visual Studio 2003, I dont understand why there is a problem with 
(CMake 2.2.2 and) MS Visual 2005.

Has anyone of you experienced the same problem and found a solution?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Best regards,
Thomas Wilkens
