I'm not familiar with that IDE, but in order to be directly supported by a generator its native build system would need to support everything in CMake's code model (static/shared/exe binaries, custom commands, etc.). is this requirement published somewhere? I would like to get a better understanding on this ... also, where can I find the detailed description of the internal data structures used by the various components of the cmake program? An alternative is to create an "extra" generator that produces project files that sit next to Ninja or Makefile generator outputs. The latter is the real build system. The extra project files are for the IDE. there is currently support for a Borland generator. I think this is the makefile generator ... if so, then we just need to add the "extra" stuff for the IDE ??? We'd also require that someone run nightly testing for the generator on a long-term basis in order to keep it supported. > Also, is there any good CMAKE documentation for developers who are beginners > and wish to take a stab at adding functionalities to CMAKE? There is workflow guidance in `CONTRIBUTING.rst` and `Help/dev/*.rst`. As for the code itself, it is poorly documented for developers. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com<http://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.

CMake is part of a family of tools designed to build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice.
