First of all, I personally find the CMake integration in Visual Studio just absolutely amazing. Granted I am not doing any cross-compiling with Android yet, but for just building on Windows it's phenomenal.
I noticed that Visual Studio 2017 RC is actually packaging its own version of CMake: E:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\2017\PROFESSIONAL\COMMON7\IDE\COMMONEXTENSIONS\MICROSOFT\CMAKE\CMake\bin\cmake.exe Is Microsoft patching the CMake code base to support what they are doing? And if so, are those changes not upstream yet? Personally, I'd rather have the ability to tell Visual Studio to use my external version of CMake that is on PATH, rather than its own. I can understand if that isn't possible right now due to custom changes, but I'm curious to learn more, assuming Kitware has had a partnership with Microsoft for this integration with Visual Studio. Would anyone be able to provide more news here? Is there a way to make VS 2017 use my separate install of CMake? Are the Microsoft-specific patches contributed to upstream (or planned to be)? -- 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.
