This section covers adding common features to your CMake project. You'll learn how to add a variety of options commonly needed in C++ projects, like C++11 support, as well as how to support IDEs and more.

## Default build type
|
|
|
|
CMake normally does a "non-release, non debug" empty build type; if you prefer to set the default build type yourself, you can follow this
|
|
recipe for the default build type modified from the [Kitware blog](https://blog.kitware.com/cmake-and-the-default-build-type/):
|
|
|
|
```cmake
|
|
set(default_build_type "Release")
|
|
if(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE AND NOT CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
|
|
message(STATUS "Setting build type to '${default_build_type}' as none was specified.")
|
|
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE "${default_build_type}" CACHE
|
|
STRING "Choose the type of build." FORCE)
|
|
# Set the possible values of build type for cmake-gui
|
|
set_property(CACHE CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE PROPERTY STRINGS
|
|
"Debug" "Release" "MinSizeRel" "RelWithDebInfo")
|
|
endif()
|
|
```
