Ensure build configurations are consistently propagated through all build steps and output directories follow standardized patterns. This prevents configuration mismatches that can cause deployment issues and makes CI/CD pipelines more reliable. Key practices: - Always propagate configuration parameters to native build systems (e.g., CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE) - Use consistent output directory patterns across all project types - Ensure native libraries and build artifacts are properly copied to expected locations - Align MSBuild targets with the same configuration and platform structure Example from CMake integration: ```xml ``` Example for consistent output directories: ```xml bin\$(PlatformTarget)\$(Configuration)\ ``` This standardization ensures that debug/release configurations are properly handled across the entire build pipeline and that all artifacts end up in predictable locations for packaging and deployment.
