Summary0005811: Creating new configurations for MSVC
DescriptionAlthough the documentations explains how to define a new configuration (called Maintener), in MSVC this doesn't work as one can't extend CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES. I would like to request a feature so that new configurations would be allowed to be defined for MSVC.

Thanks, Tal

Some people on the mailing list suggested how to fix the code so that it would be possible to add a new configuration. There is however more than that to configurations in MSVC. In my group each project has it's own configurations and there is also a mapping between global configurations and model configurations. For example in my project when choose a global English_Release configuration, some libraries my be compiled under a Release configuration. I am not sure you want to implement this, but I thought I should mention that.

We deeply need that feature as well.

I have tried something from the FAQ: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#How_can_I_specify_my_own_configurations_.28for_generators_that_allow_it.29_.3F [^]

This does not work.
When trying to change the CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES to only Debug;Release, the cache is not properly updated and keep the old values: Debug;Release;MinSizeRel;RelWithDebInfo

System: Win 7 Pro
IDE: VS9

Is there a technical reason why this hasn't been implemented yet, or is it just that no one has gotten around to working on it?
