Yep.. I hear ya and I understand. I have wanted something like this
for a while now. I have pondered the idea of extending Eclipse with
the CDT plugin to dynamically generate the CMakeLists.txt files but
the task is just to big for me alone to do. I think in the end it
would be a good IDE but the CMake folks have expressed a dis-interest
in making CMake into a library, for good reasons. With out that
support I think it might be a long and difficult road.

Hello all,
thanks for your hints. Well, ok, I could use any IDE that can be
configured
to run any command as its build command. So a text editor will do
generally.
But this is not exactly what I want. I'm looking for an IDE that
supports
the CMakeLists.txt such that it interprets them and translates them
into a
GUI-dialog for build configuration. Maybe an example will clarify
the reason
behind it:
Say you are working with CMake-generated VisualStudio project
files. If you
want to add a file, you cannot use the IDE for it. I.e. you cannot
drag-and-drop it on your IDE or add it via a context dialog. You
need to add
the new file to your CMakeLists.txt and this change will be
realized in the
IDE the next time you build (and reload) your project.
You can do that with a little discipline, but there is of course a
source of
error (and little annoyance) if you cannot use the IDE as usual with
CMake-generated build-files. It would be really cool, if you could
make
changes to the build config with your IDE and they are reflected in
the
CMakeLists.txt. At best the IDE would be cross-platform ;)
I know that this is out-of-scope for CMake, but maybe one of you
knows about
attempts in this direction?
Cheers
Marco
