Not so much of a problem, but more of an exploration to see how close Visual Studio could get to the cycle that novice Visual Studio coders are accustomed to, which, of course, would not require cmake. I, Amine, and others had a nice chat in IRC earlier today and we tossed around a few ideas, which we agreed to explore off-line from the main project.
But to be clear, we are not changing from cmake as the main build process.

What exactly is the problem here? That prebuilt VS solutions aren't included instead of requiring CMake to generate them first, or what?

Hi All,
Some of you might have seen my recent on the post regarding the build process: http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9 http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12240&start=15 &t=12240&start=15
As I mentioned, it would help greatly to lower the barrier-to-entry to less-experienced developers, as well as more experienced developers who might have limited time budgets [Who among us does not have a limited time budget?].
I wanted to send out this message to let everyone know that I intend to use what bit of time that I available right now, at the beginning of January, to tackle this issue head-on. Again, my purpose here is not to step on anyone's toes, but make certain that we never turn away a potentially-valuable contributor simply because they are unnecessarily removed from their development comfort zone. I do realize that there is already on-going work on the build process, and I have no intention of interfering with that.
I will wait 24-hours for any objections/reservations from now before making a hard commitment, but frankly, we really to get this done, like right now.
Happy New Year. :)
