Summary0009968: Eclipse CDT Project File overwritten by '-G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles"'
DescriptionI recently start using eclipse in our project and am very happy how it
works with the CMake Eclipse CDT 4.0 generator.
Unfortunately, every time i recall cmake it writes the .project
(+.cproject) file for eclipse and overwrites my personal settings within
that file prior set, like when i set extra make parameters (gmake -j 10 -k).
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information1. Using the Wikipage http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Eclipse_UNIX_Tutorial [^] "Option 0000002" also solves the problem for now, but it would be a good feature if the
'cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4..." ..'
could offer this function instead of calling
'cmake -G "UNIX Makefile" ..'

2. After the response of Alex Neundorf (a.neundorf-work@gmx.net) from the mailing-list, who suggested to report this to the bug-tracker, i am now doing so.
TagsNo tags attached.

I am suffering with this problem too. CMake resets all my make flags in eclipse project after changes in build scripts. For myself I made a small patch that adds the argument CMAKE_ECLIPSE_MAKE_FLAGS and substitutes its value in org.eclipse.cdt.make.core.build.target.inc. How about adding something to cmake? Also may be other IDE's parameters can be added to cmake generator, and other IDEs like VS and XCode need something like this too.

Closed at the CMake 2.8.4 bug triage meeting, Dec. 8, 2010.

Partially addressed instead when related issue 9930 is fixed.

See 0009930.
This is now in the next branch on staging and should go into 2.8.4.
There is now a cmake cache variable CMAKE_ECLIPSE_MAKE_ARGUMENTS. So, run cmake and let it generate the Eclipse project, then run make edit_cache or cmake-gui, and enter the make arguments you want (e.g. "-j10 -k") in CMAKE_ECLIPSE_MAKE_ARGUMENTS.
This should do what you want.
