[CMake] configuration specific ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND (was: Target properties LOCATION and DEBUG_POSTFIX)

[Martin Lutken]

Yes just use something like:

IF ( ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} STREQUAL "Debug" )

ENDIF ( ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} STREQUAL "Debug" )

IF ( ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} STREQUAL "Release" )

ENDIF ( ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} STREQUAL "Release" )
