Too Hard to Create a Cmake Project?

Also for what it's worth Jetbrains has already said they're working on supporting other builds systems. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it works with juce projects pretty much out of the box. Sounds like the juce team has their priorities straight trying to keep the build workflow simple and waiting on JetBrains to support other build systems is the right path.

That would be great if JetBrains supported other build systems and toolchains. Well at least the MSVC compiler and Windows debugger on Windows, like how Qt Creator does it. I don't particularly like MinGW and I only like Cygwin for command line stuff. I love IntelliJ IDEA for Java development and would love to give CLion a real try. I've learned a little bit of CMake while trying to find a good cross platform build solution for the Qt library, so maybe I can finally get it to work with JUCE. It would be great if the IntroJucer could generate CMake files, but I can understand why that's not a goal. 

I also need CMake support.

I don’t want to have a dependency to Projucer to create a project for Visual Studio, CLion, XCode, etc.

For this purpose, we have CMake which allows to create projects for those IDEs. With supportin CMake, you will support many more IDEs I think.

You also wouldn’t have to maintain the different IDE’s versions (like for Visual Studio)

Please add CMake file creation.

Wow! I love these dedicated guys! Here we go!

Clion support in Projucer announced

Link on this dead thread provided for people like me who don’t have time to search and hunt for the latest updated info like I just had to after googling this link, finding what seems like a dead end.
