Hi !
On my own free time I've managed to create tool similar to cmake - command line
tool called syncProj.
Currently syncProj is aiming also for portability, but it currently has
narrower list of supported platforms - supported platforms are at this moment
only Windows and Android, butonly Visual studio based.
Where cmake is using special kind of language, syncProj uses C# programming
language as a base, and because of this allows full support forsyncProj C#
script code syntax highlighting, intellisense and full debug support.
Documentation:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C1YrbFUVpTBXajbtrC62aXru2om6dy5rClyknBj5zHU/edit#
Source code:https://sourceforge.net/projects/syncproj
syncProj is something that was just born on the way of making another project,
and I suspect that it's far from supporting all visual studio project
parameters and configurations, but it provides solid code base for future
development.
So if you're familiar with C# or not familiar, but willing to learn, feel free
to contact me, I can guide in syncProj code baseand teach you how to improve
syncProj.
Currently syncProj supports C++, but not C#, as a platform base runs only on
Windows, and limited to Windows / Android platforms.
What I have checked through Visual studio even currently start to support Linux
based platforms, so if you want to or need that platform, I can guide you
through how to add that support into syncProj.
Current code coverage level is 83.23% and I plan to increase that value with
each future change.
------------------- Future considerations ----------------------
Currently I see syncProj as intermediate solution or a tool - I think in future
syncProj could actually become built-in into Visual studio itself,as base class
hierachy - something similar Microsoft guys are trying to achieve right now by
integrating cmake initial support into Visual studio.
cmake scripting language dialect is more difficult to learn than C#, but of
course ideal world would be if C++ project would be configured using C++
"script" syntax.
But at the moment C# allows on-fly compiling of C# code, but not C++. I think
that through making C++ modules possible + allowing to compile C++ immediately
- this would permit to make new variation of syncProj, which would be coded in
C++ fully, but this is somethingto consider later on, after C++ modules starts
working in full scale on multiple compilers.
