Re: [CMake] excluded from build in Visual Studio project

[Guillaume Dumont]

Hi,

I think you can add any files to a library/executable target and they will
show up in the IDE. If the files are actual source code files such as
.cpp/.c/.cxx you can set HEADER_FILE_ONLY property on them so that they do
no get compiled when the target is built the
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.6/prop_sf/HEADER_FILE_ONLY.html.

Somewhat related, the following thread from a few days ago may be helpful:

In short, you probably want to use add_custom_target() without the ALL
keyword.

[CMake] excluded from build in Visual Studio project

[Michael Legleux]

I have a use case that I haven't had much luck googling.

I have a project that needs to have files visible in the Visual Studio IDE
but marked with the red "Excluded from build" symbol.
The source files are not needed in any way for the visual studio project,
but for example, they use functions defined in project source files, so
they need to be searchable and updatable from the visual studio ide.

I can't seem to find any nice clean way to do this with cmake (or anyway
yet for that matter.)
