Hi CMake list, A colleague and I are trying to somewhat sneak in CMake in a project that uses Visual Studio for IDE. This is a fairly big step to take and we anticipate a bit of push-back, even if it clearly is a worthwhile improvement. One way to maybe ease the transition would be to check in the CMake-generated solution+projects. I took the naive approach and just removed the CMake-generated files, the cache etc, just keeping the VS solution+projects. The next build I noticed that CMake was re-run and the cache was regenerated.
Is there some way to get CMake to generate solution+projects that don't have any tie to CMake at all, its cache or CMakeLists.txt files, that are suitable to check into a VCS and thereby not require every user of the code to install CMake themselves? I am well aware of the potential problems arising from CMake not being a round-trip tool, i.e. that changes made to the solution+projects don't end up in the CMakeLists.txt automatically. At this point in time that isn't a big concern for us though. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus -- 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.
