Agreed, I'm trying to figure out this as well. I will report back if I figure it out.

get_target_property() is trying to match against all PropertyGroups in the .vcxproj you are processing.
It will return the first PropertyGroup whose '-Condition' matches the 'target configuration' you pass in.
For instance, a typical '-Condition' value coming from a PropertyGroup might be ''$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32''.

The only weird thing is that the script wants $target_conf to be a REFERENCE.

So, an example would be the following:

perl vcxproj2cmake.pl foo.vcxproj "\Debug|Win32"

The first slash creates the reference to the string. The second slash escapes the pipe symbol and treats it as a simple string.

I'm still getting an error later 'Not a HASH reference....". Working on this next.

Debug should be enough
