cmake

Hello,

gcc 4.4.2 / Visual Studio C++ 2008

I have been using cmake on linux, without any problems.

Now I have ported by application to run on windows.

I generated the solution files using cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008 ../src"

However, I know that cmake only creates a Makefile that is used by the compiler to build your application.

I open my solution in Visual Studio, I press the F7 key to compile.

I am wondering does it actually use the Makefile that was generated by cmake? Or it is just compiling the application like any normal visual studio program?

Many thanks for any advice,
