Add CMake project generator

There is initial attempt at CMake project generator here: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/tree/master/3rdparty/genie/src/actions/cmake

What is the state of the cmake generation? I've been wanting to use it but can't seem to get it to work with my configuration. I'm trying to build a project using SDL2, glm and glew. Using both vs2015 and gnu make files works perfectly for me. With the cmake option it has undefined references for everything from opengl.

Any pointers to figuring this out?

It can generate cmake files that can be used with CLion IDE.

It doesn't seem to have the correct libraries linked when I do it. for example when I put "SDL2" as a link option for the project. In the CMakeLists.txt there is no option that would link it for cmake

I have to add below information manually to the CmakeLists.txt

target_link_libraries(framework SDL2 )
target_link_libraries(framework SDL2main )
target_link_libraries(framework SDL2_image )
target_link_libraries(framework GLEW )
target_link_libraries(framework GLU )
target_link_libraries(framework GL )

I meant used by CLion IDE just to display files in project, not build project.

I've been modifying the CMake generator to be a bit more complete, and it manages to build my project completely - though it's only tested on my own private project (not on GitHub) on macOS, and it's not as clean as I'd like it. Feel free to take a look at my branch though to test it on your own project.

@Lssikkes You can test with my projects bgfx, bnet, and bx (https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx), if your generator can generate cmake project for those and successfully build you can submit PR. :)

Looks like I'll be working on getting this to fully work in the near future. (Full disclaimer: I'm currently generating gradle files along the gmake to finalize Android builds. Having cmake support would allow me to fully integrate the build into gradle as this is the usual method for Android builds).

@Lssikkes would you mind me using parts of your work as a base?

[Lssikkes]

No that's fine, go ahead.. I haven't been using the Cmake path for a while (currently switched fully to ninja for C++ on Linux and Windows), so I haven't been doing any development on it any longer. Feel free to take the code and expand on it!
