Hello, I'm new to cmake and trying to evaluate external will work for my projects.
But I encountered one issue in that CMake has no support for using masm from visual studio project files. CMake quite suprised me already by supporting nearly every feature that I need without much effort but this single thing. I can try and hack around it using add_custom_command but for that I need to be able to have access to and intermeddiate directory to place the output object file in and this needs to be per configuration type (debug, release etc...) and I couldnt find a way to get access to this from cmake (VS has a macro for this) and also adding object files this way is quite nasty (add_custom_command supports prerocessors and code generators not assemblers/compilers) The other workaround I can think of is using an external project file (include_external_msproject) but this both requires duplicating the configuration done in cmake and creating a project for each visual studio version I need to support which is what I'm trying to avoid in the first place. Is there any plan to implement this? Thanks for any help or suggestions.
