How to keep source folders hierarchy on solution explorer?
Use the source_group
command.
source_group(
<name>
[FILES<src>...
] [REGULAR_EXPRESSION<regex>
])Defines a group into which sources will be placed in project files. This is intended to set up file tabs in Visual Studio. The options are:
FILES Any source file specified explicitly will be placed in group . Relative paths are interpreted with respect to the current source directory.
REGULAR_EXPRESSION Any source file whose name matches the regular expression will be placed in group .
@James Adkison is correct; source_group
is what you want to use. As of CMake 3.8, the improved source_group
command now offers a TREE
argument to recursively search your source hierarchy to create source groups to match it. Here is a basic solution for the example you provided:
project(MyProj)
set(MyProj_SOURCES
"folderA/Toto.cpp"
"folderA/Tata.cpp"
"folderB/Foo.cpp"
"folderB/Bar.cpp"
)
add_executable(Main ${MyProj_SOURCES})
# Create the source groups for source tree with root at CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR.
source_group(TREE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} FILES ${MyProj_SOURCES})
