Subject: Re: [CMake] Visual Studio GNU make 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.

That sounds like a good idea.


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.

Yeah, the piece of hardware I'm compiling for uses GNU Make in Cygwin for its libraries and makefile includes and whatnot. At this stage I don't fancy rewriting the entire 3rd party build system only to have it overwritten with the next update!
So a custom command seems to be the way to go, thanks Brandon.
