How Can I create a Cmake file from existing visual studio CPP project?

Question

I am dealing with relatively big visual studio CPP project (we implemented this project from scratch in windows environment). Now, I have to compile this project in Linux environment. But, I have no idea How I can create a Cmake file from this visual studio project . Is there any straight forward solution?

Thank you

It would be a great tool if it was possible to convert MSVS project to cmake in Linux environment, but unfortunately I also didn't find such a tool.

However, you can convert VS solution to CMakeLists.txt. You can try this or that tools or some others, but then you need to redesign it.
