[cmake-developers] C# support ready for review

Mon Mar 21 05:23:36 EDT 2016

Uhm, I have to admit that I have not experience in unity development at all so this is not that much of a simple question for me. But my main motivation for native C# support in CMake was to be able to mix native C++, managed C++ and C# binaries within one solution and to build them all together. If this is what you would like to do: yes this works well for me.

best regards,
Michael
