I wish to set a cmake variable to a certain value for debug configuration, and to another value for release. This works well with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE conditional and single configuration projects, but I don't know how to do it in a multi configuration one, e.g. Visual Studio. Any ideas?

This depends a lot on what you want to achieve with this variable. Can you be more specific? – oLen Jan 15 '17 at 13:10

This variable will hold the location of a dependency which is different for both configurations. – krojew Jan 15 '17 at 13:51

So in principle a library that you are going to link against? – oLen Jan 15 '17 at 13:54

Yes, exactly - the library resides in a well defined location for every configuration. – krojew Jan 15 '17 at 13:59

Ok. I saw you ansered it, your solution is what I would have suggested. – oLen Jan 15 '17 at 15:38

I found you can get away with using both debug and release versions in a single variable:
set(VARIABLE debug debug.lib optimized release.lib)
