27 * \brief Base class for generators for "External Makefile based IDE projects".
29 * cmExternalMakefileProjectGenerator is a base class for generators
30 * for "external makefile based projects", i.e. IDE projects which work
31 * an already existing makefiles.
32 * See cmGlobalKdevelopGenerator as an example.
33 * After the makefiles have been generated by one of the Makefile
34 * generators, the Generate() method is called and this generator
35 * can iterate over the local generators and/or projects to produce the
36 * project files for the IDE.
