[Cmake] SET_MSPROJECT_TEMPLATES_DIRECTORY( something )

[William A. Hoffman]

Your command was never a command, and it is still there.
You simply set this variable in cmake:
MSPROJECT_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY
and cmake will use a different template directory.

You can however use .def files in cmake.

We use it when building zlib.def:

   SOURCE_FILES(MEX_SRCS  c:\geoff\pkg\matlab\extern\include\libmat.def  )

You could  put the /export:mexFunction in the .def file. and you would have the
same result without a separate template directory.
