CMakeMacroGenerateProject

Back

This macro takes a list of files as input and generates source groups that follow the relative path of the files from the ProjectDir folder. This is strictly a cosmetic change, but it's nice if you're using the CMake generated projects also for development

# create hierarchical source groups
MACRO ( GenerateProject ProjectDir ProjectSources )
 
  SET ( DirSources "${ProjectSources}" )
  FOREACH ( Source ${DirSources} )
    STRING ( REGEX REPLACE "${ProjectDir}" "" RelativePath "${Source}" )
    STRING ( REGEX REPLACE "[\\\\/][^\\\\/]*$" "" RelativePath "${RelativePath}" )
    STRING ( REGEX REPLACE "^[\\\\/]" "" RelativePath "${RelativePath}" )
    STRING ( REGEX REPLACE "/" "\\\\\\\\" RelativePath "${RelativePath}" )
    SOURCE_GROUP ( "${RelativePath}" FILES ${Source} )
  ENDFOREACH ( Source )
ENDMACRO ( GenerateProject)

A typical use for this macro would be:

GenerateProject ( src/MyLib ${MyLibSources} )
ADD_LIBRARY (MyLib SHARED ${MyLibSources} )
