I have fresh git version of CDDA (2016-07-19).  
my folder structure:  
src

- !build/cataclysm
- Cataclysm-DDA

in !build/cataclysm folder I start .r.sh which have:  
cmake …/…/Cataclysm-DDA -DCMAKE\_BUILD\_TYPE=Release

it seems that cmake totally ignore build\_type. I’ve try variations:  
cmake -DCMAKE\_BUILD\_TYPE=Release …/…/Cataclysm-DDA  
etc.  
but in vain.

it seems now I can build release only by make or by manually setting cmake files.  
am I wrong?
