I'm far from a CMake expert, so maybe this answer is not optimal.
To support relative path for dependencies I have patched the method:
cmGlobalVisualStudio71Generator::WriteProject
Here is the modified version (sorry I don't know how to do a patch file,
fortunately it is a small method):
void
cmGlobalVisualStudio71Generator::WriteProject(std::ostream& fout,
const char* dspname,
const char* dir,
cmTarget& t)
{
std::string d;
if(cmSystemTools::FileIsFullPath(dir))
{
d =
cmSystemTools::RelativePath(this->GetLocalGenerator(0)->GetMakefile()->GetStartOutputDirectory(),
dir);
if(d.empty())
{
d = ".";
}
}
else
{
d = dir;
}
cmSystemTools::ReplaceString(d, "/", "\\");
fout << "Project(\"{8BC9CEB8-8B4A-11D0-8D11-00A0C91BC942}\") = \""
<< dspname << "\", \""
<< d << "\\" << dspname << ".vcproj\", \"{"
<< this->GetGUID(dspname) << "}\"\n";
fout << "\tProjectSection(ProjectDependencies) = postProject\n";
this->WriteProjectDepends(fout, dspname, dir, t);
fout << "\tEndProjectSection\n";
fout <<"EndProject\n";
}
For the files I think it is not a problem. First, you should separate your
vcproj and your source files. With the patch above you can move easily the
vcproj folder tree and it will always work.
If you still want to change the location of your source files, you just have to
check out your vcproj files, launch CMake, and check in the projects with a
meaningfull comment like: "changed location of sources files from ... to ..."

Subject: [CMake] relative paths for visual studio generators?
Hello Cmake crew,
is there a way for cmake to generate relative paths to dependencies
and files
like the VisualStudio IDE does by default?
Those full paths make .vcproj files very hard to version control and
checkout
into different folders requires deleting and creating them anew by
cmake .
Thanks!
