Can't generate MSVS (MSBuild) files on Linux
Do MSVS* generators depend on actual Microsoft Visual Studio libraries or can be compiled on other operating systems as well?
With recent addition of WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) would make sense to include Microsoft Visual Studio generators on Linux so we can generate .vcxproj (and other) files on Linux side and then just run MSBuild on them on Windows side.
I think this would be also useful in situations where project is multiplatform and all files can be generated on Linux box and then just taken by e.g. build system over Samba/FTP/etc. Same thing would make sense with XCode to me...
In case these generators have actual linking dependency I fully understand and you can close this.
