In Microsoft Windows the character "&" is permissible in path/file
names. If CMake is used to generate Visual Studio 2003 solutions using
such a path name, the vcproj file will fail to load when the project is
loaded under Visual Studio 2003. The simple interim solution would be to
just document this in the documentation, but it probably should be fixed
at some stage. File name idiosyncrasies like this are one of the more
subtle issues of cross-platform compatibility.
With respect to the documentation it might be advantageous to include
the following statement somewhere:
"In order to make classes visible in the Class View of a Visual Studio
Project, include the header files in the ADD_EXECUTABLE( ) command in
CMakeLists.txt."
Or words to that effect. I don't know about the Borland Compiler but
perhaps the same thing applies there.
I am using the latest CVS version of CMake.
Thanks
Andrew
