Solution Description

This Eclipse plugin automatically generates build-scripts for the Eclipse CDT managed build system from CMake scripts and runs the build.

  • Automatic generation of build scripts. No need to manually invoke cmake.
  • Aims to make Eclipse projects cross-platform compatible without the need to change platform-specifc project settings due to automatic platform detection.
  • Takes your CMakeLists.txt as the source of truth.
    • Auto-detects the actual build tool to invoke: make, ninja, nmake, MinGW make, MSYS make, ...
    • Provides a Language Settings Provider that can feed include paths and pre-processor symbols from cmake to the CDT-Indexer.
    • Its compiler-built-ins provider retrieves macros and include paths from the actual compiler, as far as the compiler supports that (including nvcc CUDA complier).

For instructions inside the Eclipse workbench, go to Help:Help Contents, then open the 'Cmake4eclipse User Guide' node.

I seem to experience the same issue. Using  Help -> Eclipse Marcetplace ... -> find "cmake" I get to find "cmake4eclipse 2.1.4". But click on "Install" gives me "The following solutions are not available: cmake4eclipse 2.1.4"
Also dragging in the Install link from this side did not help. Is there a solution to this?

Regards,

Frank

Doesn't work for an existing project:

Followed the Getting Started section of the user guide, but when I try to build it just invokes CMake to create Makefiles. There's no way to build the code itself.

The project builds fine in Eclipse if I manually invoke CMake with the Eclipse CDT generator and then import the project into Eclipse, so there's nothing wrong with the CMakeLists.txt or Eclipse.

There is a problem with a project after update of CMakeLists.txt file by hand. If e.g. I add something there and try to build, soluion will be not re-created. It would be very convenient to have that, in other case the plugin is "use once and avoid updates"... then it makes it senseless to use. Besides that is looks veri promissing!

For Makefiles and ninja files, cmake generates rules in the build-scripts that automatically re-generate the scripts if one of the project`s CMakeLists.txt files has changed. Simlar  rules should be generated for MS solution files, too. Please have a look at these files.

BTW: Please use the <a href="http://groups.google.com/d/forum/cmake4eclipse-users">mailing list</a> to ask questions.
