Subject: Re: [RFH] CMake: detect if being run via Visual Studio, independent of build generator?
Date: Sat, 29 May 2021 20:14:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOjrSZtRH-sqh8RJm3W00dUWTbT-xcpzDWCQFt=3CNaVnOyVWQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

(resending because client reconfigured to not use plaintext)

Reading through the documentation, Visual Studio seems to support
CmakePresets.json [1] for handling configuration of cmake options.  It
might be worth it to keep the defaults as is. But provide a variable
for forcing vcpkg and a CMakePresets.json for Visual Studio
(and other such tools) to use.

This is nice since Visual Studio users wouldn't need to rely on the
slower Visual Studio * generators to run their builds, while leaving
non Visual Studio users still able to easily run builds.  So maybe there's
a way for everyone to be happy?
