Create CMake file from Visual Studio Project

edit

Hi, I give you my cmakefiles for my apllication using opencv openscenegraph plplot. I don't know if it's a good example but it works for me : VS2012 32 and 64 bits and linux mint

find_package(OpenSceneGraph  3.2.1 REQUIRED osgDB osgUtil osgGA osgViewer osgText osgSim)
find_package(OpenCV  REQUIRED)
find_package(wxWidgets COMPONENTS core base net adv aui html  qa richtext stc ribbon xml gl REQUIRED)
find_package(PLplot  REQUIRED)

If you want to include a library which is not known by CMAKE you have to look in share\cmake-3.0\Modules. Example CMake does not know LibreOfficeSDK I have write this line in CmakeList.txt

set(LOSDK $ENV{LibreOfficeSDK})

FIND_PATH(
  LOSDK_INCLUDE_DIR
  NAMES main.h 
  PATHS /usr/local/include /usr/include  ${LOSDK}/include/sal
)

Again I'm not a specialist of Cmake may be you should ask you question on cmake Forum
