Summary	0031822: Configuration, CMake - setting of Debugging properties via target properties instead of template file
Description	Currently Debugging properties of the generated Visual Studio projects are set in CMake configuration files via configuring template files .user.in. E.g., look at /CMakeLists.txt:1002: OCCT_CONFIGURE ("adm/templates/DRAWEXE.vcxproj.user.in" "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/src/DRAWEXE/DRAWEXE.vcxproj.user") In modern versions of CMake* some target and directory properties were introduced for this purpose: target properties: VS_DEBUGGER_COMMAND (introduced in CMake 3.12) https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/VS_DEBUGGER_COMMAND.html VS_DEBUGGER_COMMAND_ARGUMENTS (introduced in CMake 3.13) https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/VS_DEBUGGER_COMMAND_ARGUMENTS.html VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY (introduced in CMake 3.8) https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY.html VS_DEBUGGER_ENVIRONMENT (introduced in CMake 3.13) https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/VS_DEBUGGER_ENVIRONMENT.html directory properties: VS_STARTUP_PROJECT (introduced in CMake 3.6) https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_dir/VS_STARTUP_PROJECT.html The example of use of such properties: set_target_properties (${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES VS_DEBUGGER_ENVIRONMENT "${VisualStudio_DebuggerEnvironment}") set_property (DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} PROPERTY VS_STARTUP_PROJECT ${PROJECT_NAME}) The most recent of these properties were introduced in CMake 3.13 that was released in November 2018, almost two years ago. So it can be used in OCCT CMake configuration files as stable enough.
