CMake to create ActiveX OCX?

Question

Today I played with CMake, and so far it has worked perfectly. Our project consists of projects +100 Visual Studio 2003; we want to upgrade to VS2008 and ultimately VS2010, and also support the makefile build system (and possibly also Eclipse CDT) ... so defining our projects using CMake configuration files and generating project files and make files seems a possible way.

However, we have a large number of OCX, and I could not find any examples of this. Does anyone know about an OCX project with CMake?

Thank! - Josh

# The last directory is a hack, but it is needed, since the midl compiler outputs the

FireBreath DLL- ActiveX CMake. , , , OCX. ATL.

Of course, FireBreath does a lot of other things, as it is an environment for creating browser plug-ins, but you can look at the cmake structure and see what we do. The only “difficult” thing I had to solve was that cmake sometimes couldn’t handle .idl files, so instead of adding .idl files, I created my own build steps to handle the midl call.
