When the CMake build type variable, CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
, is not set via the add_cmake_defines
method of the cmake options
object, it is inferred from the Meson build type. Build types of the two build systems do not match perfectly. The mapping from Meson build type to CMake build type is as follows:
debug
-> Debug
debugoptimized
-> RelWithDebInfo
release
-> Release
minsize
-> MinSizeRel
No CMake build type is set for the plain
Meson build type. The inferred CMake build type overrides any CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
environment variable.
