Answer 1

I know that using the CMAKE glob function is usually frowned upon: Why is CMAKE glob evil, but in my case I found it to better than explicitly naming each file. I figured I would include a modified version of Florian's answer using GLOB.

# This code sorts the project files as they appear in the root directory

# Generate a list of all .c & .h files in the current directory and sub directores.
file(
     GLOB_RECURSE source_list RELATIVE
     "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}"
     *.c *.h
    )
foreach(source IN LISTS source_list)
    get_filename_component(source_path "${source}" PATH)
    string(REPLACE "/" "\\" source_path_msvc "${source_path}")
    source_group("${source_path_msvc}" FILES "${source}")
endforeach()
