Not sure you want to tie yourself to a buggy inconsistent IDE and force that upon all developers. Why wouldn't you do it with CMakes internal logic? Isn't that

Not sure you want to tie yourself to a buggy inconsistent IDE and force that upon all developers.
Why wouldn't you do it with CMakes internal logic? Isn't that the point, especially since it is cross-platform.
- leggomylibro 7y agoI don't think I understand the question. Generators are CMake's way of creating IDE-specific build files, and I wish that people used them instead of writing their own scripts to create IDE-specific build files from CMake. Generators are there so that you don't get tied to any one IDE; you select a different generator when you want to use a different IDE or compiler, but your CMake logic can largely stay the same besides that. If I were a cynic, I would say that the vendors probably don't mind it being difficult to interoperate with their competitors' products, so there's little incentive to support things like that.
