I would like to explore converting my source code from Visual Studio 2008 files to Cmake ([login to view URL]).
For this project, I'd like to convert 4 libraries and one executable
Cmake would presumably generate the Visual Studio 2008 files, and the solution file, and I would be able to build the result.
I would provide:
-- The Source Code (which already compiles under visual studio 2008)
-- The Solution File.
-- The five Visual Studio Files.
You would provide the appropriate cmake files.
.If it goes well, there are two possible follow-on projects. The first is that there are many, many more possible projects to be converted. And, second, I'm thinking of moving mycode to linux, which is why I'm exploring this option.
## Deliverables
The code is written in C++, and already compiles in Visual Studio 2008.
In Cmake, I expect you will have to properly setup:
(a) The dependencies of one project on another.
(b) The source code include directories (src\Common, src\Util, etc.)
(c) The library include directories (..\bin\release kind of thing)
(d) The directory to put temporary build files (..\build kind of thing)
(e) The directory to put the output .dll and .exe (..\bin\release kind of thing)
(f) The highest warning level.
There might be a few other subtleties, but that is pretty much it. Anyone familiar with cmake should be able to do this pretty quickly.
