I'm a CMake newbie and I'd appreciate help creating a makefile *from* a Visual Studio .NET 2003 project/solution. I'm trying like to migrate my projects to eclipse and I hope CMake will help make that transition.

I'm trying to generate a Unix style (or NMake) Makefile that I can use to port my visual studio project to eclipse. I've tried running cmake on the project directory with the -G"Unix Makefiles" and -G"NMake Makefiles" option, but its not working -- I'm getting lots of errors. Apparently, I'm missing a number of variables. How can I set these variables? I'd still like to use the Microsoft compiler *but* within the eclipse environment.



You need to setup the MS compile to work from the command line. The easy way is to run the visual studio command prompt from the start menu under visual studio tools. Then run cmake from that shell, and it should work.



Also, I've previously run CMake on the project directory, and I got TestTexturePlugin.vcproj.cmake, ALL_BUILD.vcproj.cmake. What is a cmake file? And what can I do with it?

There should also be a .vcproj file and a .sln file. The .cmake files are sort of time stamp files so we can do copy if different operations and not have visual studio remove its own files.
