'MT_StaticRelease' not match 'MD_DynamicRelease' using cmake vcpkg

Question

I am stuck in a problem with Cmake on Windows 10. I am using cmake with vcpkg to build an application linking to Boost thread (actually, I developed it on Ubuntu and I am now trying to build it also for Windows..)

The problem that I receive is:

boost_thread-vc140-mt.lib (thread.obj): error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': the value 'MT_StaticRelease' does not match the value 'MDd_DynamicDebug 'in mtconnect_get_data.obj

Here is my Cmake file:

# CMakeLists.txt

  add_definitions( -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB )
  add_definitions( -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK )
endif()

add_executable(mtconnect_create_data src/mtconnect_create_data.cpp)
add_executable(mtconnect_get_data src/mtconnect_get_data.cpp include/AsioTelnetClient.cpp)

target_link_libraries(mtconnect_create_data ${CURL_LIBRARY} ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
target_link_libraries(mtconnect_get_data ${CURL_LIBRARY} ${Boost_LIBRARIES}
    mysqlcppconn ${LIBCONFIGPP_LOCATION} pthread)

...it seems to me to be solved by adding

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE} /MT")

just before the add_executable line and building only the release
