I'm working on a package that requires some custom properties (i have some additional includes and linker setup to manage, etc.). I have made a VS Property Sheet sheet with all the necessary adjustments. Once I've complied the package with CMAKE I can use the Property Manager view in visual studio to apply that property sheet to each project in the solution.

This works well enough. But when I want to add a new object to the object I have to recompile the package using CMAKE. After I do this all of the projects in my package have reverted back to the default properties. So every time I add an object I have to re-adjust the properties for all of the existing objects.

In addition to being some painful manual labor, there is a high chance of error. It feels like there should be a better way.

I'm wondering if there's a way to include my property sheets in the build script for the projects. Can anyone suggest some solutions or best practices?
