That's great. I'm confused about one thing still: The cdt4 web page says "When you edit your CMakeLists.txt file, you are recommended to delete your project and reimport it." Why? If it's because cmake has generated a new .project / .cproject, does that mean you should do a build (or somehow otherwise trigger a cmake run) before deleting and reimporting the project? - Dan -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
