CMake's VS_PACKAGE_REFERENCES not adding a reference to VS2017 project

Question

I\'m trying to automatically add (nuget) references to my (C++) visual studio 2017 project using CMake.

In this question, VS_PACKAGE_REFERENCES is suggested

Answer 1

Hmm, apparantly, C++ projects are not supported by PackageReference according to docs.microsoft.com

ASP.NET apps targeting the full .NET Framework include only limited support for PackageReference. C++ and JavaScript project types are unsupported.

This makes the whole VS_PACKAGE_REFERENCES option from CMake inapplicable for C++ projects.
