[CMake] cmake + VS 2012

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

I have tried VS 2012 and I'm not getting exceptions when cmake regenerates projects. They get reloaded by the IDE and so it looks like things are good. Only one day of trying, so I may still be disappointed, but so far I'm happy. Hopefully I won't need those add-ins, but since I use intel fortran and it's not yet available for VS 2012, I still need to keep VS 2010/2008 for some projects and I'll certainly check out the stuff you mentioned. Thanks.

JB

The Visual Studio addin is from vscommands.com and is mentioned in this bug report on the issue:

  http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11258

As you can tell from reading through the notes, we never did find a satisfactory solution to the problem... issue is still open, but folks who've tried vscommands report that it reduces the pain.


HTH,

I was able to install it and my VS2010 builds do run much smoother now. Not sure if that is of any help at all but thought I would mention it.
