+CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
+----------------
+
+Specifies the build type on single-configuration generators.
+
+This statically specifies what build type (configuration) will be
+built in this build tree. Possible values are empty, Debug, Release,
+RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel. This variable is only meaningful to
+single-configuration generators (such as make and Ninja) i.e. those
+which choose a single configuration when CMake runs to generate a
+build tree as opposed to multi-configuration generators which offer
+selection of the build configuration within the generated build
+environment. There are many per-config properties and variables
+(usually following clean SOME_VAR_<CONFIG> order conventions), such as
+CMAKE_C_FLAGS_<CONFIG>, specified as uppercase:
+CMAKE_C_FLAGS_[DEBUG|RELEASE|RELWITHDEBINFO|MINSIZEREL]. For example,
+in a build tree configured to build type Debug, CMake will see to
+having CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG settings get added to the CMAKE_C_FLAGS
+settings. See also CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES.
