That seems to be different from the Visual Studio Generator's implementation. I've got the following in my CMake for Windows builds. (using VS 2005)<div><br></div><div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Monaco; color: #2a00ff">

Similar for the Debug builds. This seems much simpler, because it allows for the combination of the Linker Flags which is nice for avoiding repetition in the flags.</p>

<br>Don't know much about xcode, unfortunately. Post a clear example of what you're trying to do and what Xcode isn't doing for you and hopefully someone else can help with that.<br><br><br></div><div class="Ih2E3d">

</div><div><br>It could be something simple like<br>1. The CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_<config> variable is somehow not in scope when you're calling add_executable()<br>2. Setting CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_MinSizeRel (uppercase config names seems to be the only thing that works for me).<br>
3. You forgot to set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE at configure time<br><br>Could you try the following small CMakeLists.txt on your system and see if it works OK?<br><br>====<br>
project(Foo)<br>
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)<br>

set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG "-L/FOO_DEBUG_OK")<br>
