Hi,
When opening projects in the Visual Studio IDE that are using an older toolset
version (ie. a VS 2012 project under VS 2015) for the first time, a prompt is
displayed asking if you'd like to upgrade the projects to the newer version of
Visual Studio. This gets annoying pretty quickly when you're generating
projects over and over. Now, there's a VS project property that can be set,
which will prevent this prompt from being shown. It can be applied to any
(known) CMake target like so:
set_property(TARGET target PROPERTY VS_GLOBAL_VCProjectUpgraderObjectName
NoUpgrade)
Unfortunately, you still get upgrade prompts for all of the predefined and
automoc targets (ie. ALL_BUILD, ZERO_CHECK, etc.). Is there any way to assign
that property to the built-in targets?
Really, it seems like this is a property that should be applied by default to
any CMake generated Visual Studio projects. I'm not sure why anyone would
want to do a project upgrade within Visual Studio itself when you can just
reconfigure the toolset in CMake. I imagine anyone specifying an older toolset
version is doing so on purpose so that they can use the latest IDE with
projects that need to be kept on older compilers. But maybe I'm wrong.
