Nope, you just go to the toplevel directory, and eclipse will import recursively. I mean, there are twenty or more, I didn't count. I don't really feel like doing this. 2. Import wst file 3.

For me Oliver's eclipse generator actually works with out-of-source builds. (eclipse 3.7, CDT 8). If I remember correctly the main thing to look out for is to put the workspace outside of both the source and the cmake build directory.

Re: [cmake-developers] Better Eclipse CDT support
Pulling in a few more people (suggested audience from Sergey), please tell me if I'm CC'ing a list that doesn't make sense. Context: Oliver is currently working on making eclipse support for CMake a lot better. I heard that Andrew is working on configuration of includes and defines in eclipse, so there might be potential for coordinating efforts to make eclipse and cmake work better together and provide a really nicely integrated development setup.

Here we go: git://github.com/oliver/cmake_cdt7.git I have intensively worked with this generator the last days - and am not completely satisfied with it in the moment. But basically, it does what I want. I built and installed it. I'm actually not really using Eclipse much myself, e.g. so I have never used working sets before. I tried to load it via Project Explorer - Select Working Set - Window Working Set - Working set type: C/C++ and then selecting the builddir/eclipse/CMake.wst file. But now I'm not sure what to do with it. The normal targets and directory structure look like they did before, and in the eclipse/ directory there are a lot of empty directories starting with a @. So, how do I use it ? Alex Hi Alex, I have written down some things on http://edge.substance.io/#oliver/CMakeEclipseCDT7 I installed the plugin. Now I imported the working set CMake.wst instead of the project(s). I see three working sets: CMake, CMake/ALL and CMake/CTestDashboardTargets. When I select Top Level Elements - Projects, I see nothing from them. When I select Top Level Elements - Working sets, I see them, e.g. the CMake one. When I try to click it open, it is empty. If I right-click it and Go Into, the pane becomes empty. When I right-click and click Properties, it shows me a dialog with the existing (other) projects, no cmake among them, and no directories are checked. What am I doing wrong ? The wst file is attached. Alex Hi Alex, wst-file is allright and I see that all projects are generated :) Unfortunately, this working set stuff is yet a bit inconvenient, as it is not an Eclipse built-in.

Bye, Oliver FYI: I am currently struggling a bit with Eclipse's linked folders under Eclipse 3.6 + CDT 7.0.2. This has the consequence, that I can not add a link to PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR and PROJECT_BINARY_DIR without causing troubles with the CDT indexer. I'd really like to have a the global project similar to the project your generator creates. With Eclipse 3.7 and CDT 8 these problems seem to be resolved. So that feature is currently deactivated and I will make it switchable for edge-affine eclipse users. When the next version is released officially it's gonna be the default behavior.

You enable this with -DCDT_LINK_MAIN_SOURCE_FOLDERS=ON. For that to work properly, I strongly recommend to use Eclipse 3.7 M6 + CDT 8.0. @Alex: is there a way to provide --help assistance concerning such parameters with extra-generators? Hi guys, Just stepping in to say that documenting generator-specifics features is an issue CPack has as well. Read discussion on that topic here: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10067 Currently I tried to put generator-specific doc. in CPackGenName.cmake file such that cmake --help-module CPackGenName will display the doc. the idea in the end would be to have cpack --help-generator GenName use the same mechanism to display the doc. may be we can design some unified way to documents such things for CMake/CPack/CTests. I know there are some (huge) bits of doc burried into the C++ code too but having a way to write some doc in separate files makes it easier to enhance the doc. Just throwing some ideas here. Hi Eric, thanks for your hint. I also vote for a unified approach. Personally, I think the doc for built-ins should reside in the source: no cluttering, and more uniqueness. But your suggestion is also reasonable. Would be awesome, if the doc could be taken from a comment block in the source file. Then it would be local and readable. But this is probably too difficult to achieve. All cmake docs are generated from the sources. There is a short doc for the generator, this is in cmExtraEclipseGenerator::GetDocumentation(). The variables are documented in cmDocumentVariables.cxx. The documentation for each module is at the top of the module itself. So if you put some documentation at the top of CMakeFindEclipseCDT4.cmake it will end up in the module documentation. Is this what you mean ? Alex Yep. Sounds great ;) ___ cmake-developers mailing list cmake-developers@cmake.org http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
