Re: [CMake] C# and cmake ?
Hello Gerhard, With the SimpleITK project I am working on we are using C#, SWIG and a lot of C++ ( along with a variety of other languages). We are using Swig to generate C# libraries, and compile a large number of C# executables to test our interface. We have quite a bit of CMake code, but I hope that you'll be able to wade through it to find the bits you may need. Here is a summary of some of the interesting bits that you may find useful: CMake Find and Use files: https://github.com/SimpleITK/SimpleITK/blob/master/CMake/FindCSharp.cmake https://github.com/SimpleITK/SimpleITK/blob/master/CMake/UseCSharp.cmake https://github.com/SimpleITK/SimpleITK/blob/master/CMake/FindMono.cmake https://github.com/SimpleITK/SimpleITK/blob/master/CMake/UseMono.cmake Here is macro we use for testing: https://github.com/SimpleITK/SimpleITK/blob/master/Testing/Unit/CMakeLists.txt#L326 And here is the code that we use to run SWIG and generate the managed library: https://github.com/SimpleITK/SimpleITK/blob/master/Wrapping/CMakeLists.txt#L206 Most of the CMake code has been contributed by another developer, so I am not an expert of C#. While this is a rather complicated build process, it may give an indication of what would be needed for cmake to build the C# targets.

Re: [CMake] C# and cmake ?
Generator expressions are special placeholders $<> used in custom commands
and targets. If external project weren't of "utility" type in CMake (e.g.
executable) it would be possible to associate imported location with it and
use in other custom commands and targets as any other target. This allows
CMake to automatically substitute configuration and handle dependencies
where necessary.
For example if you have code generator or test runner written in C#. Now
it's still possible but you have to use CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR.

Im not sure what you mean with the above. What are generator
expressions ?

Re: [CMake] C# and cmake ?
It's better to use include_external_msproject with C# projects. After
fixing bug http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13120 it's possible to
use:
include_external_msproject(Configurator
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/MyCSProject.csproj
TYPE FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC
PLATFORM "Any CPU"
)
Additionally you can use configure_file to create file in $(SolutionDir) to
pass information (like paths, configuration options, etc.) to msbuild and
VS IDE.
The only drawback is that CMake sees these project as utility projects, so
you can't use them in generator expressions. However you can link to them
by adding dependencies.

[CMake] C# and cmake ?
We have a large code base, that consists of a large number of C++ file and a smaller number of C# files. Most fo the C++ code is being build using CMake, the C# code is build using the msbuild tools. I know that currently there is no C# support planned in CMake, but reading through the google results, it sounds like people have had various degrees of success using custom_command(..) or other CMake tricks to kick of C# builds using msbuild/devenv. For those who have succesfully build mixed code projects (so C# and C/C++ ), would you mind explainign how this is done ? Preferably with some example CMake files ?
