Using this add-in would require that I create a corresponding .slnenv

What is the best way to accomplish generating a .slnenv file for each
generated .sln file?
It seems like this type of capability would greatly enhance the usability
of CMake for developers using Visual Studio. Would this add-in make
sense as an enhancement to CMake?
What can it do that CMake doesn't already do? Nothing from a first look.
As far as I can tell, CMake does not currently do this. When setting
environment variables via $ENV{PATH}, these variables are only in effect
during the CMake configuration and build file generation. I need the
variables to be in effect for the loaded solution file (When I run an
executable from Visual Studio, I need PATH to be setup to find the required
dlls).
There would probably be a way to accomplish this in CMake if it is possible to
set registry entries from CMake. I see that CMake can get registry entries;
however, I do not see that there is a way to set registry entries.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to set registry entries from CMake?
Having CMake set the necessary registry entries would not help with
binary distributions of your product. I do not whether that is relevant
to you, but in general that would be a problem:
- Your clients may have the libraries installed in a different place
- They may have different versions
- They may lack the permissions to install libraries
Come to think of it:
They may lack the permissions to update the registry.
How does the tool you mention handle that sort of situations by the way?
(Mind you, I am not trying to be sceptical - it is just that I have
run into all manner such problems before and a simple solution
seems utopic)
