RIF: [CMake] kdevelop problems

[Luigi Calori]

Thanks, Frederic

My sistuation is I have aready an hand written CMakefile (I ususally 
work on MS visual studio) for several generators (Unix Makefiles, mingw, 
MS VS 7...)
 I currently build under Linux thru Makefiles, I would like to test 
Kdevelop as an IDE platform for Linux.
So I installed Kdevelop (under Fedora Core 5) and set up the generator 
as KDevelop3
I currently keep
CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR != CMAKE_BUILD_DIR and, worse, my c++ sources reside on 
an external dir from CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR

The problem is that if I open the kdevelop project that has been 
generated by CMake, it does not contains any c++ source nor any include file

I' ve tied with a simpler project thar has c++ files inside 
CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR and the files are showed.

Is it a known limitation?
Do I have to use special hacks inside CMakefiles to tell Kdevelop to add 
the files to the project?

Thanks in advance
                                      Luigi

The preferred way is that CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR != CMAKE_BUILD_DIR. Then cleaning a project is just a matter of deleting CMAKE_BUILD_DIR. The other advantage is to ability to have different build configuration, example a debug and non debug build.

Just create hand written CMakeList.txt, import the project in kdevelop using "custom makefile", then configure kdevelop to use the build directory to compile, and sett other paramaters such as where is the executable.
