Conditional Disable Symbols in Build Specs

Status: Duplicate

Currently we can set Conditional Disable Symbols (CDS) for a whole project or for a target.

I wish we were able to set them inside a build spec, too.

 

This would mean, I could have a large application in one project and build different flavours of it's executable simply by using the appropriate build specs.

Use cases might include simple things like debug / release builds (similar to this idea), but also more complex differences like a software that uses real hardware and a special version that works without hardware, which can be used in the office.

 

Currently I need to either set the CDSs manually each time I build an executable or maintain several copies of the same project file. Both methods are tedious and error-prone.
