Adding header and .cpp files in a project built with cmake

Question

I have built a project using cmake and some libraries.I want however to add some header and .cpp files in the project which I am going to code.What is the easiest way to do

Answer 1

You can put all header/source files in the same folder and use something like

file(GLOB SOURCES
    header-folder/*.h
    source-folder/*.cpp
)

add_executable(yourProj ${SOURCES})

In this way, you can do either of the following two methods to add new added header/source into VS:

1. need to generate in CMake again.
2. fake to edit the CMakeLists.txt a little bit, e.g. simply add a space. And then build your solution in VS, it will automatically add new header/source files.
