hi everyone,

There are many generators supported in CMake. A CMake build system allows me to generate the preferred build environment for everyone, visual studio, eclipse, ninja you name it.

The problem I see with this is that projects are generated output files, and even if that gives everyone the starting point in the way he/she is used to, they will probably want to further customize their project preferences. But every build folder, every library that is added to the project sources later on in CMake must be reflected in those projects as well. This means any customizations done outside of CMake is lost.

I cannot see how to overcome this limitation. What is the workflow for generated projects here?


Another question, I didn't know there is a generator for sublime text 2:

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/generator/Sublime%20Text%202.html

Is the source code for generators available? I think it would be fun adding some improvements.

best regards!
