[CMake] How to create a custom solution with Visual Studio 2010 generator?

[Golebiewski, Jakub]

This may be a solution, I will check this asap.

This should be clearer, I have something like this:

Main Project - PROJECT()
                \Sub Project 1 - PROJECT()
                               \target 1 - ADD_LIBRARY()
                               \target 2 - ADD_LIBRARY()
                \Sub Project 2 - PROJECT()
                               \target 3 - ADD_LIBRARY()
                               \target 4 - ADD_LIBRARY()
                \Sub Project 3 - PROJECT()
                               \target 5 - ADD_LIBRARY()
                               \target 6 - ADD_LIBRARY()

Targets  5 and 6 depend on 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Now when I run cmake on Main Project I will get .sln files for Main Project and each Sub Project.
.sln file for Sub Project 3 will contain all the targets (So I will get .sln with projects for target 1 – 6 in VS terminology).
What I need to have is for Sub Project 3 to have only target 5 and target 6 in .sln without dependencies from other Sub Projects.

So I worry that with your solution I will get unknown targets error? Is there any way to ignore missing targets errors?

Thanks for help,
JG

CMake's PROJECT directive maps to 'Solution'  (should only be one
project() per chain) ... use set( PROJECT projectname) and then reference ${PROJECT} later instead of ${PROJECT_NAME} for easy conversion.

add_library, add_executable map to 'project'

from http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables

you can wrap the projects you want to omit with If's

if( NOT MSVC10 )
   add_library( one I don't want in 2010) endif( NOT MSVC10 )
