Conceptually it should not be this hard.
Recently I was tasked to help develop a small static library (4 source
files), the primay developer works in Linux and the library will be
primarily used in Linux. Thankfully we use CMake and the visual studio
project file was created without any hassle at all (woot!)
I still needed to make a visual studio tweak: "compile .c files as
c++". I would make the change in the IDE, but every so often CMake
would regenerate the project and force me to do it again. Its
irritating, but the time fixing CMakeLists.txt adds nothing when win32
is not the target platform this library runs on.
see set_source_file_properties and set the LANGUAGE to CXX for getting
.c files to compile as c++.
So yes, an option to generate a project without CMake dependency would
be value-added for me.
Although not strictly supported. If you set CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION
to true, and CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS to true, you might get things to
work for a small project. Doing it from Linux is not currently possible.
