The process is divided in two stages: * the first stage search the project's folders and creates a custom project file with what it supposes is the right-way-to-do(tm) * the second stage takes that custom project file and generates the CMakeLists.txt files
In between you can modify the custom project file to do some changes and customize how you want to compile it. About your specific questions: 1) you can add to the custom project file an "ignore" statement to avoid Autovala use a file/folder 1b) It's not possible to add conditional compilation directly, but you can use an "include" statement in the project file to append a manually-written CMake file to the end of the automatically generated one, adding your specific commands 2) Not yet, but is a good idea Keep in mind that the idea for Autovala is to simplify the most common cases, so you can't expect to be able to use in the 100% of the projects, but only in the 90%. But that's the idea: for simple projects, where you just need the most basic CMake things and manually writing the files would be too hard, use Autovala; for complex projects use CMake directly. Even there's another possibility: use Autovala to generate the common parts (this is: installing icons, documentation, po files and so on), and manually write the parts for compiling your code.
