It sounds like reinventing a subset of CMake.
Sorry this sounds like a "sales pitch" -- I've just done this exercise enough times to appreciate that while it's not perfect by a long shot and is maddening when it doesn't work, but even with its flaws, it's better than the alternatives I've found.
I just opened Visual Studio and told it to make a New "Project from Existing Code" (and NOT using an external build system). I know there is a lot more to it because it doesn't know how to link in Qt for example, and numerous other issues I'm sure. But it shows me what the .vcxproj file looks like. It only created one and it includes every source file in every directory. In theory, let's say we finished the project file so it could link Qt and build everything just right... after that, couldn't changes to Makefile.common just be merged into this file with a script? The source files listed look like this: <ClCompile Include="epan\crc8-tvb.c" /> Or am I missing something? ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
