I am building an application using Pybind11 and CMake. I got almost everything to work, but there are two things that I cannot figure out:

1.) No matter what I do, I only get a Debug folder with my .pyd files in it. How do I force CMake to make a Release version? -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release on the command line does not do it, and setting it in the CMakeFiles.txt doesn't either.

2.) After successful building, I would like to have my .pyd files copied to my site-packages folder. I thought that the last line in my CMakeFiles.txt would do that, but it doesn't. Or do I have to invoke something besides cmake --build .?

Here's my CMakeFiles.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15...3.29)
project(b LANGUAGES CXX)

set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)

set(pybind11_DIR C:/Users/peter/.virtualenvs/b_tool-z3PwOKEe/Lib/site-packages/pybind11/share/cmake/pybind11)
set(PYBIND11_FINDPYTHON ON)
find_package(pybind11 CONFIG REQUIRED)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20 CACHE STRING "C++ version selection")
