The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=15731 ====================================================================== Reported By: Marco Foco Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15731 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-09-09 08:37 EDT Last Modified: 2015-09-09 08:37 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: VS_DEPLOYMENT_CONTENT Description: Reading the documentation for the property VS_DEPLOYMENT_CONTENT looks like it can be used to mark a file as "Excluded from build":
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/prop_sf/VS_DEPLOYMENT_CONTENT.html "Mark a source file as content for deployment with a Windows Phone or Windows Store application when built with a Visual Studio generator. The value must evaluate to either 1 or 0 and may use generator expressions to make the choice based on the build configuration. The .vcxproj file entry for the source file will be marked either DeploymentContent or ExcludedFromBuild for values 1 and 0, respectively." Actually, this is not working in a plain C++ project. I suspect that the note "with a Windows Phone or Windows Store application" restricts the activity of this flag. The workaround of marking a C++ file as HEADER_FILE_ONLY TRUE is inconvenient, because it does not put a mark in the solution explorer (making very difficult to spot the excluded files). Steps to Reproduce: - add a file - mark it as VS_DEPLOYMENT_CONTENT 0 (or FALSE, tested with both) Load the vcxproj and notice that the file is not marked as "Excluded from build" by right-clicking on the files and selecting "Properties" ("Excluded from build" is actually empty, which defaults to false).
