Hi there!
I noticed that on
MSVC
the Run-Time Library switching cannot be done on a command line build task. I was facing a requirement that the static run-time must be used instead the shared. I was obligated did it manually (setting into the.sln
) but it was pretty clumsy and cumbersome.This commit implements the run-time switching through
cmake
's command line. Now when onWindows
and usingMSVC
if the user desiresMT
orMTd
run-times, she/he should do the following:Once done, the release configuration will use
MT
and the debug configuration will useMTd
.The default for
MSVC_STATIC_RUNTIME
is OFF so when ommited the build will take into consideration the shared default (MD
/MDd
).Regards!
