Hi, I'm new to CMake and the list, so forgive me if this has been asked before. We have a requirement to use GNU make to build our code, but we want to use Visual Studio 2005 as the IDE. Can CMake produce VS makefile projects but with a custom make command?
CMake can produce a makefile project. You could then treat that as an External Project in VS 2005. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h27k75y5(VS.80).aspx I think you'd have to do this yourself from within Visual Studio. I don't think CMake has any inherent support for VS External Projects. You could also use CMake to produce a Visual Studio project, and implement all compiler shennanigans yourself using ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND. This would be similar to how I drive the Chicken Scheme compiler. http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org if you want to see my build. What's so great about GNU Make? Sounds like a legacy issue you should dump. Unless it's an underlying 3rd party library, in which case you don't touch that build, you just wrap it with an ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND and let it do its own thing completely independently.
