This really depends on your command line enviroment and how do you want it 
to relate to the IDE builds.

Which command line do you use? (cmd or cygwin)

What tools do you use in the command line (simple makefiles? auotools?)

Does the build fom the command line need to use the libraries generated by 
the IDE build? or are these parallel independent build lines?

IIUC correctly you can create makefiles suitable for command line builds 
FROM a solution loaded in the IDE.

If run the windows installer and choose to download the gmp precompiled 
libraries, it should be sufficient to store them in the search path to cause 
auto-linking to work.

Alternatively, you can just disable auto-linking entirely if you whish, by 
defining

CGAL_NO_AUTOLINK (disables it for all libs)

or

CGAL_NO_AUTOLINK_GMP and CGAL_NO_AUTOLINK_MPFR (disbles it for gmp/mpfr 
only)
