Question

How to configure Eclipse \"Helios\" with plugin CDT for cmake?

cmake all 
CMake Error: The source directory \"D:/javaworkspace/workspace/Planner/Debug/all\"          


        

Answer 1

Another completely different method.

• Manually create an empty Eclipse project.

• Link source directory via Project Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Source Location.

• In the Debug and Release build directories create 'Make Targets' (using the 'Make Targets View'). Leave 'Make Target' field empty and set the 'command' field to cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" .

• When you double-click on the 'Make Target' that you've created, it should trigger cmake invocation inside the Debug/Release dirs.

• In 'Project Properties -> C/C++ Build' disable built-in makefile generator.

Now normal build should work. It will also pick up any changes in the CMakeLists.txt files (to the extent that CMake can).
