cmake default build type

I set the default build type to debug because in development I generally spend more time on debugging then on speed testing. Users should download the automatically built binary from Jenkins which is built in release mode.

Hi Lars,

I see current default build type in CMake is Debug. I suggest to use Release as default because it prevents users to use the debugging OGS for their simulations, which makes simulations slow down.

Best,
norihiro

There are other users who want or need to compile OGS by themselves, e.g. those who want to use MPI version of OGS on Linux cluster. For them I suggest to use Release mode as default because

1) most of users will not develop and debug codes. They just need to compile OGS once for their simulations. For them, shorter command option is easy to use. e.g. "cmake .. -DOGS_FEM=ON" rather than "cmake .. -DOGS_FEM=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release"

2) it's hard for them to realize their mistakes when they run simulations with debug-mode OGS. For those who want to debug codes, their mistake (i.e. build without -g) is immediately clear after compilation because GDB doesn't work.

Best,
Norihiro

Hi all,
I strongly agree to Norihiro! I see no reason why DEBUG mode should be
default behavior for trunk. This is especially true for externally
coupled version (like the GEMS coupling).
Greetings, Georg

Go ahead and change the default build type if you want to.
