I am just going to chime in again with my "it is good enough" setup. While all the kinks in the CDT generator get worked out you can "STILL" use the normal Makefiles generator (Mingw for Windows) and tell Eclipse that you have a "Makefile" based project. If you set you global preferences in Eclipse to always setup a Makefile based project with a build command of "make -C ${project_loc}/Build" and you bootstrap the process by creating the "Build" directory and then running cmake from that directory at least ONCE, then Eclipse seems just fine. This seems like a lot of work but literally only takes a minute to get a new project going, even ones I check out from CVS/SVN. Until the CDT project generator is stable and works 100% of the time I'll stick with this process. If you have time to work on all these issues then great, I look forward to testing your changes sometime. Until then, Eclipse + Makefies works just dandy.

Cheers

I welcome your patch and will be pleased to give it a try.

Obviously, the help in developing and testing is appreciated, but for
the particular problem in question the patch is required for the
Eclipse plugin.

This is true BUT have a look at the discussion on the cdt-dev mailing
list and you'll see that it may not be as easy as it seems....

At lea

There are a few things that need to be worked on in
the generator that can be of great help, but I'm not sure that
.project/.cproject in the source directory is the right solution. More
below...



2007/10/17, Mike Jackson:
I agree that there are some conflicting philosophies here. I am a bit
more practical about this. I just need to get my work done.

I agree with that too.
I'm pretty sure it's a very good point for CMake to smoothly
support a great CDT4 generator.

My comment was about the fact that the buggy behavior
of the CDT4 Generator for CVS enabled project should
not be seen as CDT4 generator's fault.

Exactly, the bug is in the Eclipse plugin... CMake is just too
powerful for it ;)

I am ok with the fact that CDT4 generator should
put it's (.project/.cproject) ouput inside source tree.

I'm certainly not, but I'm only the author of the CDT4 generator not a
CMake developer ;)

I can assure you that the cmake developers agree with you, cmake must not
create files in the source tree when building out-of-source.

Wasn't there a way to get the cvs/svn stuff working with the eclipse
generator ?
E.g. by setting up a project in eclipse for the cvs/svn sources and then additionally loading the cmake generated out-of-source eclipse project ?

I think a good thing would be to document in the cmake wiki how to set this up
with the cmake generator.
