[CMake] MIDL include directiories

[Mika.Rajala at patria.fi]

Hi

I solved this exact problem by using the add_custom_command, to write the 
command for the midl tool. (I created a macro for it)

Now I neatly get the generated tlb and header files, and now i can easily 
list them in the visual studio.

However, I'm yet to figure out how to add the idl files to the project, so 
that I may see them in the IDE, without having it try to handle them with 
the midl tool. (the default way)

I tried using the source file properties COMPILE_DEFINITIONS, 
HEADER_FILE_ONLY and even EXTERNAL_OBJECT on the idl files to work my way 
around, but this did not generate any changes to the VS 2005 project.


Is there any way to affect, through CMake, how visual studio uses the midl 
tool on idl files? Is this even theoretically possible?

Is there any way to add files to a project so that they are not compiled, 
even though they normally would?

[CMake] MIDL include directiories







Hi 

I'd like to know is it possible to give additional include directories for 
the MIDL tool in Visual Studio 2005 with CMakeLists.txt code. 

The include_directories command does not work for the MIDL tool 
parameters. 



To delve deeper into the reason why this is a problem, helloworld1.idl 
uses helloworld2.idl and as such is unable to find it in any given 
directory. 

My files are organized in a manner similar to this: 

CMakeLists.txt 
code/helloworld1.idl 
code/helloworld2.idl
