Summary0012579: Improve project generator for eclipse to handle multiple top level directories
DescriptionSee discussion at
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2011-November/047435.html [^]

If CMakeLists.txt points to a distant directory, e.g.
  add_subdirectory(../foo foo)
the projects generated by the existing cdt generator have two problems:
1) even if -DECLIPSE_CDT4_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT=TRUE is given, the ../foo directory is not exposed as a project in the gui
2) eclipse does not trigger a build when source files in directory ../foo
are changed.

The first problem can be solved by adding a dummy project in ../foo
just as is done in the primary source directory (though, please, use
a better name, like [_foo])

The second problem requires adding a <link> item in the main .project,
pointing to the foo directory.

I do those two things in a shell script after running cmake, but that
means I have to re-run my shell script by hand after every change
to any CMakeLists.txt, and it'd be nicer to have cmake's cdt generator
do it for me.

 The other constraint worth noting is that the Team menu should be active
for all source files so e.g. Subclipse can be used on them.
Current cmake master doesn't have this property.

 In the cmake next branch now in the source project there are also links created to each project() directory.
Can you please check whether the revision control works there ?

And, ECLIPSE_CDT4_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT has been renamed to CMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT , so please enable this one (cmake will also warn you about this).

 There is perhaps more work to do on this issue... so we're leaving it open for future work, and unsetting the target version field, since more fixes related to it are unlikely to be done in time for 2.8.7...

 I don't think I'll work on this for 2.8.10.

 I think 2) might be fixed, but 1) still reproducing on CMAke 3.4.3.

I mean, for 1) ECLIPSE_CDT4_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT does not iterate through all add_subdirectories() calls to create all the .project files in all source directories. That is specially bad if you use GIT integration on Eclipse, for instance - only the first project (parent) will have VCS and all the others will not

2) However, if we do some change in any source-code of subdirectories added by add_subdirectory(), the project is recompiled properly

Both features are great and doesn't seem to be too complex to implement. Any chance we have it fixed ?

 Just as an amend, where I've written ECLIPSE_CDT4_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT, please, read CMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT =)
