I think it's true that QtCreator knows how to connect to a CMake build
tree generated with the "CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles" generator.

Somebody out there, please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't use
QtCreator myself, but I think that's the way to do it.

I've heard rumor you can simply open the top level CMakeLists.txt file
in QtCreator, too, and it knows how to find all the source based on
that. Don't know if it will generate a build tree for you if there's
not one to start with...


HTH,
