Funny timing - I just did that today, at least in a crude manner. Long story short: On Unix/Linux/Mac, you can use the command-line tools (grep, sed, cut, xargs, etc.) to get the list of all source file that comprise the solutions' projects. If your needs aren't too fancy, it's pretty trivial to make a simple CMakeLists.txt file out of that list of files.
Granted it's just a start, but my point is, it may not me as tough of a nut to crack as you fear, at least for relatively simple projects. > -----Original Message----- > From: cmake-boun...@cmake.org [mailto:cmake-boun...@cmake.org] On > Behalf Of Paul Dean > Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2010 14:14 > To: cmake@cmake.org > Subject: [CMake] Creating CMakeLists files from Solutions,Projects and > Makefiles > > I've been using CMAKE for a few years now and I absolutley LOVE it. > It makes my life as a programmer so much easier to be able to generate > project files on any platform. > > What hurts is doing the reverse.
