title: Build existing C++ solution on linux using Visual Studio 2017
body: <p>I have have a CMake project, which I sometimes I need to build/debug on Linux. I've tried using "Linux development with C++" to connect to my Virtual Debian machine, but it doesn't work the way I want. </p>
  
  <p>It don't want to create a new project, I only want to generate a makefile using CMake and connect to it.</p>
