Newer versions of CDT (9.1+) seem to have trouble to properly read the 
.cproject file generated by cmake [1] [2]. 

Forget about running cmake manually and install _cmake4eclipse_ from the 
eclipse marketplace. It runs cmake automatically [3] and comes with support 
for the eclipse indexer. Some people even use it for CUDA in the nvidia 
insight IDE. (Disclaimer: I am the maintainer)
Just try it with one of the example projects [4].
