The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15578 ====================================================================== Reported By: Davy Durham Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15578 Category: CMake Reproducibility: N/A Severity: feature Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-05-20 13:10 EDT Last Modified: 2015-05-20 13:10 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: Target property that sets Startup Project in MSVC Description: A means of setting the (default) "startup project" for MS Visual Studio projects would be great.
This is a rehash of mantis2919. In needing the same functionality, the consensus "out there" is to use https://github.com/michaKFromParis/slnStartupProject after generating the msvc solution with cmake. It is true that the startup project preference is stored in the .suo file and that cmake doesn't generate that, but that's *after* the solution has been opened for the first time. .suo files are not normally stored in source control because they change so much. MSVC apparently sets the first project defined in the .sln as the startup project when it is first opened (before any .suo file exists). And this is what this slnStartupProject application actually alters about the .sln file its given. Would it be possible to add a command, or target property for making sure some specific target is defined first in the .sln file? This would really be helpful. I can do more research if required. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2015-05-20 13:10 Davy Durham New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
