We have a build here where a large portion of our product is in source code available to customers, but then there is a core which we only distribute as prebuilt "private objects". However, then when we test the customer-type build on Windows, we get an error like:
--- CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt: Target "exata" has source files which vary by configuration. This is not supported by the "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" generator. Config "Debug": E:/EXata_7_0/qualnet_dev_13_Dec18/kernel/obj/exata-main-windows-x64-vc14d.obj Config "Release": E:/EXata_7_0/qualnet_dev_13_Dec18/kernel/obj/exata-main-windows-x64-vc14.obj --- (This object file is marked with source file property EXTERNAL_OBJECT=1.) Is this a limitation in Visual Studio projects, or a limitation in CMake? In either case, what workaround could allow this build to support generating Visual Studio projects? -- Daniel Schepler
