title: cmake and visual studio
body: <p>gcc 4.4.2 / Visual Studio C++ 2008</p>
  
  <p>I have been using cmake on linux, without any problems.</p>
  
  <p>Now I have ported by application to run on windows.</p>
  
  <p>I generated the solution files using cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008 ../src"</p>
  
  <p>However, I know that cmake only creates a Makefile that is used by the compiler to build your application.</p>
  
  <p>I open my solution in Visual Studio, I press the F7 key to compile.</p>
  
  <p>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?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks for any advice,</p>
