Introduction

The CMake Wiki mentions three options to use CMake with Eclipse. This Eclipse plugin offers one more option to do that: It is designed to automatically generate buildscripts for the Eclipse CDT managed build system from CMake scripts.

Why cmake4eclipse?

Blindly invoked, CMake will generate makefiles (or other build scripts) inside the source tree, cluttering it with lots of files and directories that have to be fleed out from version control: This practice might be ok for simple hello-world-projects, but for larger projects, the CMake developers recommend You to set up a separate directory for building the source.

Annoyingly, these recommended out-of-source-builds impose some tedious tasks on Your co-workers who check out the code and just want to build it:

1. leave eclipse workbench,
2. manually fire up a command-line shell,
3. manually create a directory for the out-of-source-build,
4. manually change the CWD to that directory,
5. manually invoke cmake, telling it to generate build scripts, which kind of build scripts you want and where source source files live,
6. re-enter eclipse workbench, configure the checked out project to use the generated buildscripts.

Cmake4eclipse aims to address these tasks: Co-workers can just check out the source and have all the tedious tasks automated.
