When Visual Studio 10 vcxproj files are generated by CMake 2.8.5 or 2.8.6,
it is typically impossible to view the C/C++ properties of a single source
file. CMake 2.8.0 to 2.8.4 do not seem to have this issue. It looks like the
issue is caused by the fact that CMake 2.8.5 started storing the absolute
path names of the source files (even when CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS is ON).
Is that a known issue?
Visual Studio 10 does not allow viewing the C/C++ properties of source files
that are listed by their absolute path names. See VS10 bug report 635294,
"Using absolute path in ClCompile item prevents property pages from
showing", by Niels M Hansen, 1/9/2011:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/635294/using-absolute-path-in-clcompile-item-prevents-property-pages-from-showing
However, it seems like Visual Studio 10 *does* correctly support absolute
path names *without* drive letter! Would it be possible for CMake to write
the source file names *without* the drive letter, when it generates Visual
Studio 10 vcxproj files? (Especially when the generated vcxproj files are
located at the same drive as the source files.)
Kind regards,
Niels
