Summary0009631: Would like cmake-gui to include option for generating CDT4_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT=TRUE
DescriptionCurrently, I can generate the CDT4 (eclipse) project for a source tree which is linked to my build tree using the following syntax:
cmake -DECLIPSE_CDT4_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT=TRUE <srcdir>
It would be really handy to have that be an option in cmake-gui, so I don't have to run cmake first, before running cmake-gui.

You can add a variable in cmake-gui, click on the add-entry button.

That said, Alex, should this be a default cache variable for this generator, or a default value?

I don't know.
The thing is, Eclipse has issues with out-of-source builds.
With this flag enabled you can force cmake to generate an additional Eclipse project file in the source directory.
Because generating something in the source dir is usually a really bad thing to do, this flag has such a long name.
I wouldn't object making this a default cache variable for this generator, with the default to OFF.

I just committed this change to next, it is now an ADVANCED cache variable, so you can simply switch it on using cmake-gui.
