Use of an existing CMakeLists.txt possible?

[JochenBaier]

I wonder if it is possible to use an existing CMakeLists.txt or if this feature is planned? I use  the same CMakeLists.txt for Windows (Visual Studio compiler) and Linux Desktop gcc. Using this existing CMakeLists.txt would be great.

Thanks Jochen

Hi,

It is fully supported. Simply follow this tutorial: http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/linux/cmake/import/

Thanks for the tutorial link, works.

Really cool would it be if i could generate the visual studio visualgdb project using an cmake generator like “cmake .. -G”Visual GDB 10 2010”
and adding an existing gdbsettings settings file.

Thanks for the suggestion. We are actually considering similar functionality (auto-import of sources from CMake files), but it’s hard to say currently what extent of it will be included in v5.2 as there are still some unresolved things left.
