Windows: Only Release files are built

[petricf]

Describe the bug According the guide at https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native-qt/blob/main/docs/Building.md (as i understand it) the command

cmake ../maplibre-native-qt -G "Ninja Multi-Config" \ -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES="Release;Debug" \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="../install" \ -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="...../qt.toolchain.cmake"

should build the release AND the debug files. But the release files are built only.

A test install shows this fact also.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. get sources via git (with errors on too long file names)
2. change to build dir
3. execute command above
4. execute ninja
5. <build-dir>/src/core/Debug is empty.

Expected behavior Debug files should be built also

Platform information (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 x64
• Qt version 6.7.3
• Visual Studio 2022 community

Additional context Remark: If i skip the CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES option the debug files are created but not the release ones.

Build step:

ninja -f build-Debug.ninja ninja -f build-Release.ninja

Install:

ninja -f build-Debug.ninja install ninja -f build-Release.ninja install

Is this correct ?

If so it should be documented in Building.md.

I think something changes in recent CMake releases. Will update the docs. Workflows are still recommended build procedure though, will also clarify in the docs.

The trick should be to set CMAKE_DEFAULT_CONFIGS=all. Will put it in docs.
