Eh I'm strong too ;-) No I'm 100% for clean rules about not polluting the build tree with some generated files. The thing is, last time (back in 2007) I tried to go as far as I can with this Eclipse limitation. Digging & asking on CMake ML and CdT ML. **I** think eclipse people just don't care about this particular use case so the chance that Eclipse takes into account this case is fairly ... tiny. I could have proposed patch for Eclipse Team I just don't have enough knowledge to do it and not enough time to acquire the knowledge. Moreover if ever I come up with an appropriate patch, what would be the chance to make it upstream??? so I did report and wait.... >> I know that we should never generate files in the source dir, but >> after 3+ years it seems >> that eclipse is not able (correct me if I'm wrong) to enable source >> control on "part" of the project. > > I'm actually no expert on Eclipse stuff, I basically took over maintainance of > the generator and I am trying to polish it a bit.

Me too. I'll dig a little bit on the Eclipse side again, but generating 2 files in the source does not look like a big deal. -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org -- 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
