[CMake] Question regarding CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES

[Laurentiu Nicolae]

Hi,

I found an easy way to do it, so I decided to post it here if someone
else needs to do this trick. It seems indeed that
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES can only be defined once (and is written in
the cache). However, the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_* parameters _can_ be set on a
per-folder basis. I simply set all of them to CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE
for my DLL2 folder, thus ensuring that no matter what I'm compiling, out
comes a release library. This is a handy trick if you have (like me) a
resource-only DLL.

Cheers,
Laurentiu
