Now I was face with an application what do no come with a project file. Instead all if has is a CMake.txt file.
So I download CMake, and "Oh My god", this stuff is what I have being looking for 6 years.
I can generate Project for all kind of Platforms, Linux, Max, Windows, and it si so easy.
I will convert my project to a CMake prject and say good by to the moronic Make file, and IDE file, let have CMake make they uniform for all platform.
Another think I read but I did no put too much attention is the it looks like it can do cross compilation, I will shift in my pants if this feature works.
it can generate all this projects

It says here that is support cross comiling, and it even do archiving, this is too good to be true
