[CMake] How to check if Eclipse CDT4 generated project is set up correctly?

[Nils Rathmann]

Hi Alex,
thanks for the details. I managed to add the header files as intended 
and do have the targets you described, but the virtual directories 
"CMake Rules", "Object Files" and "Ressources" of each Target 
subdirectory are still empty. What is the intention of these virtual 
directories?

Thank you,
Nils
