Hi Robert,

With the use of CMake the source and solutions are always separated.
So there is no need for the VS-ignore stuff.

Hi Sebastian,

ALWAYS is a strong wording. There is nothing in CMake to prevent you from doing 
an in-source build. The choice of doing in-source or out-of-source build is 
completely up to you.
Sorry, of course. But it is definitely recommended to do out-of-source buildings ;-)

I usually build OSG in-source because I prefer to have the auto generated 
header files in the same folder as the rest of the osg headers. (If you do an 
out-of-source build your auto generated header files will end up in the build 
directory.)
But they are installed by CMake-Install, in case you are referring to the version.h etc?

So technically there should be no explicit need to do so, at least this always worked like a charm for me (And I'm relying on those files when finding the correct OSG-Version from another CMake project)

I'm not arguing that using CMake prevents you from doing in-source building, but I guess only a fraction of people is doing this. Even if the majority is using it this way, I would still advocate for not adding the VS specific entries to the .gitignore file.



Regards
Björn
