CMake 3.2.2 and Eclipse 4.5.1 CDT 8.0
I am using Eclipse Mars (4.5.1) with CDT 8.0 for a c++ project on Ubuntu 15.10.
I am experimenting with using cmake 3.2.2 as my build tool and would like to test how well it works for generating makefiles for an eclipse C++ project. I still need to be able to build the project from command line/independently of Eclipse.
It seems cmake 3.2.2 only supports up to Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler) and CDT4:
I tried using that for this test project:
https://github.com/kaizouman/gtest-cmake-example
And for now it seems to work I can import the project and run the make targets:
It looks a bit messy though:
- src/ folder appears to be nested under the build/ folder (at least from the eclipse perspective) making it a bit difficult to see whats versioned and what is ignored (git).
- Changes to my sources (currently versioned using git) is not picked up by EGit. So I have to go to git command line to get an overview of what I have modified.
The indexer seems to be running as expected though (function completion, go to definition etc.) so that is great.
build/ folder is currently on my .gitignore where I suppose it should stay.
Another thing are there any known issues with using cmake to generate makes files for Eclipse 4.5.1 and CDT8?
