Hello, I've googled "site:cmake.org/pipermail/cmake visual studio 2017" looking for answers, but still confused, so thought I'd ask this list. Is there a "best way" to use cmake for VS17 (but same cakelists for Linux)? And by "best", I mean with minimal effort on users. To be more specific, on Windows, I *think* I'd like to have users install the cmake binary, then use Powershell to build an application. But my initial attempt to do so is confusing. I install VS17 (for C++), it installs in standard path, but 'cl' is not found in Powershell. I read that I shouldn't edit my PATH (nor do I really want users to have to), but run some .bat instead to setup my env. So, how should one specify the compiler for cmake? Oh yes, then I see that VS17 also has its own cmake??
I'd welcome suggestions. Thanks!
