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.). This is only necessary if that IDE has a built-in build system like Visual Studio has. If the IDE uses other build systems in the background, then this seems like overkill to me. 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. Extra generators are a horrible hack IMHO and we should strive to get rid of them and not encourage users to add more. I would suggest to write some python script using CMake server-mode to extract data out of CMake and then generate files in whatever syntax this IDE requires. Best Regards, Tobias
