Hi,

You have to use cmake to create the VC++ project (.vcproj) and solution 
(.sln) from the CMakeLists.txt file.
Then, you may use VC++ to compile, debug, ...

You should modify the CMakeLists.txt file in your folder and not 
directly the .vcproj/.sln files in VC++.
Note that you need to run explicitely cmake only once (to create the 
.vcproj/.sln). After this step, VC++ will run cmake when necessary.
For example, you should add a new .cpp file in the CMakeLists.txt. Then, 
compiling in VC++ will run cmake (to update the .vcproj) before the 
actual compilation.

You do not have to add a new .hpp header to the CMakeLists.txt. CMake 
tracks headers automatically.

See cmake documentation for more details 
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/documentation.html

Best regards,
Laurent S.
