Summary0011095: [VS] Support redistributable project files
DescriptionWould it be possible to add an option to generate redistributable project files?
Those files should not depend on CMake and not use absolute paths.

This would be great for people wanting to distribute VS project files.

 No, this is not possible with the CMake architecture for many reasons.

 Why not? It seems quite easy.

 http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#Why_does_CMake_use_full_paths.2C_or_can_I_copy_my_build_tree.3F [^]

It is not easy. CMake is used during the build process. Even VS projects may call the cmake command during the build. If you want to talk about this more bring it up on the list, but is is not as easy as you think to do in a general way...
