Re: [CMake] Visual Studio 10 property pages for single source file gone with CMake 2.8.5 and 2.8.6
Update: I think users can work around this issue (#12570, empty property pages in VS10), by having the directory where to build the binaries on a separate drive (different from the drive that has the source files). Please let me know if you think that's not a good idea!

Separate drive may not be an option for some/many. I, for instance, don't use partitions, but I use CMakeas as main builder for my projects. So, I feel the pain of reloading, thus It's easier/quicker for me to close solution, rerun CMake, reopen solution. -- Mateusz Łoskot Sent from my mobile (excuse me for not quoting or top-posting possible) -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

When I do 'subst B: D:\', and open a VS10 .sln file from B:\Build, Visual Studio 2010 allows me to view the C/C++ properties of individual source files. Cool!

[CMake] Visual Studio 10 property pages for single source file gone with CMake 2.8.5 and 2.8.6
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.)

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.) I ran into this last night; but it wasn't all source files, just the ones I had copied. I even tried moving them into directories without strange characters, and even back to the same source drive, but still couldn't get the property pages. But only on the souce files that were .cpp the originals were .c and worked fine. (A large portion of sources I copy from .c to .cpp so I can build as both C and C++ seperately). All of the .cpp files would not let me bring up properties. I manually copied one of the files and added that to the ++ project, and was able to bring up properties. I was unable to track down what exactly the problem was with the other sources. They were exactly like the .cpp that I had manually copied but they would not allow me to open property pages. This is 2.8.6-rc2.
