The generator would glob for files within each project, so it would be
necessary to rebuild the CMakeList.txt files if meta-information is
changed, or if new files are added to a project. Ideally, the
generated build system should issue a warning when the CMakeLists.txt
files are out of date.
I think you can achieve this with CMake scripts (invoked CMake command
line tool with -P argument).
This script will call the FILE(GLOB...) or FILE(GLOB_RECURSE...) command
and produce a file conaitning the list of all the source file.Then it
compares it against the old listing. If there is any changes then it
invokes CMake command line tool and regenerate the projects.
There is also some nice macro around this mailing list which can mimic
the physical directory structure in your vcproj files.
CMake scripting is not as powerful or handy as other scripting languages
but with a bit of work you can do a lot of things. Our framework relies
heavily on CMake and this helps to keep it consistent (especially for
variables accessing).
