No.  CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is used to select the configuration for 
single-configuration generators such as Makefiles.  The VS6 generator is 
a multi-configuration generator, so CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is ignored and both 
Debug and Release configurations are generated.  When you load the 
project in the IDE go to the "Build" menu and select "Set Active 
Configuration".  In the resulting dialog set the configuration to

   ALL_BUILD - Win32 Release

and then build the project.
