Summary

0015044: How to convert existing Visual Studio .targets file to cmake

Description

Hello,

We are using CMake 3.0 on Windows. Our main objective is to convert Microsoft Visual Studio built solution to CMake 3.0 solution.
In the process of doing so, we have come across many Visual Studio targets files (files with extension .targets) which get included in the Visual Studio project files (.vcxproj) files.

For example in a Visual Studio project file , the targets file (test.targets) gets included as follows:

<Import Project="test.targets" />

To achieve the same thing, in the CMakeLists file we are using the following command:

add_custom_targets() with the appropriate target name "test"

Please let us know if this is the correct way to convert existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake ?
If this is incorrect, please let us know how to achieve it with a simple example.

Thanks.
