Re: [CMake] Eclipse generator - scanner-discovered include pathsand pre-processor symbols
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the change. The version you sent didn't end up working here (with
just a CXX project). The line to set the compiler is checking for "CXX" but,
at least on my system, "${_lang}" is set to "c++". Once I changed the line to
check for "CXX" or "c++", it worked fine. I also noticed that /usr/include was
not being added, and it was because the regexp was skipping the last line of
includes. I have modified the regexp slightly, and that worked as well. I
have attached the changed file for you to compare, I am not sure if the changes
are just specific to my system.
Thanks,
Shash

Ah, indeed, it was using CMAKE_C_COMPILER also when finding out the C++ stuff,
which works, but only if CMAKE_C_COMPILER is actually set.
Please try the attached version, this should also work with your CXX-only
project.
Let me know whether it works for you.
Thanks

I have not done anything knowingly for cmake to prefer ccache over gcc directly, so looks like by default cmake will use ccache over straight GCC if it finds it. Of course, the speedup is most welcome. I have attached two versions of the log output. The first one is with the problem reproduced. I noticed in your debug output that the C compiler was being detected as blank, and no C++ include directories were being found even though the compiler was detected as "GNU".

Adding the line you propose doesn't change the behaviour here. Can you send me such a .cproject file from your system where it doesn't work ? Maybe for some reason the collecting of built-in include dirs and macros doesn't work on your system.

Re: [CMake] Eclipse generator - scanner-discovered include pathsand pre-processor symbols
Hi Alex, Yes, that is correct, that one pathentry line added to .cproject is all that is needed from the generator. The scanner simply detects the built-in symbols and paths and sticks them in the container. Then, the container contribution has to be added as part of the project paths. Then, the indexer can find all the include files, and the pre-processor conditions work correctly. Or, at least, that is my understanding :-). Thanks, Shash -Original Message- From: Alexander Neundorf [mailto:a.neundorf-w...@gmx.net] But all you want is to add the line to the file ? And even with all the builtin include dirs and macros already in the .cproject file, the indexer still needs to find them again itself ? ___ 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
Re: [CMake] Eclipse generator - scanner-discovered include pathsand pre-processor symbols
Hi Alex, The included dirs and preprocessor symbols that are added, come from the CMake definitions, and are needed. The container defintion is different, it adds the dirs and symbols that are built-in to the compiler/pre-processor, and the scanner detects those within Eclipse/CDT. So, yes the container definition needs to be added, but it is not really "twice".

[CMake] Eclipse generator - scanner-discovered include paths and pre-processor symbols
Hi, Using CDT-2.8.2 on Fedora Core 14, and Eclipse Indigo/CDT (20101216-1529). Most everything works fine in the .project/.cproject, except the CDT indexer cannot find the compiler's built-in include paths/files and pre-processor symbols. To fix that, all that has to be done is to go into the project Properties->C/C++ Project Paths->Path Containers->Add->Discovered scanner configuration container. All that does is add the following under the " element in .cproject: Can this be added to the Eclipse generator?

Hi David, I truly appreciate your willingness to help, and your prompt response. Thanks a bunch! I just installed 2.8.4 and tried again. As far as I can tell, the behavior did not change (I deleted the CMake-2.8.3 generated build directory, as well as uninstalling CMake-2.8.3).

[CMake] Including an external object file (.o) into static shared library using MS Visual Studio generator
Hi! I need to include a 3rd-party API, which comes without source, as an object (.o) file into a static library using CMake 2.8.3. I know it is possible to add the .o when executables are linked, but that is not the preferred method. I have simply defined the .o file in the ADD_LIBRARY command. This works under linux, and nmake (MS Visual Studio 10 /2010). If I look in the cmake-generated build.make, CMake correctly recognizes the .o as an external dependency and defines a _EXTERNAL_OBJECTS variable in there, and it is listed at the tail end of objects1.rsp. So far, so good! When using the "Visual Studio 10" generator, CMake adds the object file as a XML element under a element that also lists all the source files as elements for the static library project. Of course the .o is not include in the lib when the project is built. I can manually go into the project properties, and add it as an "Additional Dependencies" dependency for the Librarian, and that works. Is there a way to get CMake to do this automatically?
