# - Contains a function to sensibly and easily enable the "USE_FOLDERS" global property # without burning people using old MSVC Express Editions. # # use_folders([option_name]) - Creates an option (default name if you don't pass # one: BUILD_WITH_PROJECT_FOLDERS) that controls the USE_FOLDERS global property. # It has intelligently-set defaults that err on the side of caution (disabling) # on old MSVC versions, since solutions generated with USE_FOLDERS set to ON # cannot be used in some older MSVC Express Editions, so it's explicit opt-in there. # # Original Author: # 2015 Ryan Pavlik # http://academic.cleardefinition.com # # Copyright Sensics, Inc. 2015. # Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0. # (See accompanying file LICENSE_1_0.txt or copy at # http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt) function(use_folders) set(_option_name BUILD_WITH_PROJECT_FOLDERS) if(ARGV0) set(_option_name ${ARGV0}) endif() # Nitpicky TODO: This unnecessarily defaults to project folders off when using # an older toolset in a newer IDE... if(MSVC_IDE AND MSVC_VERSION LESS 1600) # VS 2012 Express and newer has folder support... option(${_option_name} "Enable project folders in the IDE.
