[Revive Old Proposal] CMake Support

[PatchByte]

Detailed Improvement

It is really nice to work with CMake with non Visual Studio editors.
CMake essentially is an industry standard.
CMake works nicely with integrating libraries and cross platform building.

Operating System

All of them

I would pioneer a CMake implementation, but before that I would like to know if it would get accepted.

Ye would be great to have but we would like to keep compatibiity with vpc aswell

A cmake implementation would be ammazing

You got the greenlight

[PatchByte]

Alright it is probably going to take me a while I am trying my best tho 👍

[PatchByte]

Right now I am implementing everything for windows, once the linux merge has been finished I am able to add support for linux, and osx is going to be difficult right now.

[Nbc66]

Nobody uses osx anymore since they droped support for 32bit apps you can ignore it

For linux support you have to talk with @DotWith about it

[PatchByte]

So I am working on CMake and I noticed some weird stuff in the vvis_launcher vpc file.
My proposal is to remove:

• StdAfx.h
• StdAfx.cpp

And of course change the vpc config to not use precompiled headers
I don't think precompiled headers are necessary for this small projects.

Please leave your thoughts on this, and of course other persons can also leave their feedback!

^ The same for vrad

[Nbc66]

Stdafx should stay idk what the issue would be with it if you need help figguring it out you can check out golden eye sources cmake implementation of it

[PatchByte]

I am just saying it is kinda unnecessary

[PatchByte]

Hey just a quick update, I am still working on it, it just takes some time 👍
