Importing Project Into Eclipse

From https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11645575/importing-a-cmake-project-into-eclipse-cdt, the instructions for importing from CMake into eclipse are as follows:

First, choose a directory for the CMake files. I prefer to keep my Eclipse workspaces in ~/workspaces and the source code in ~/src. Data which I need to build or test the project goes in subdirs of the project's workspace dir, so I suggest doing the same for CMake.

Assuming both your workspace and source folders are named someproject, do:

cd ~/workspaces/someproject mkdir cmake cd cmake cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" ~/src/someproject

Then, in your Eclipse workspace, do:

File > Import... > General > Existing Projects into Workspace

Check Select root directory and choose ~/workspaces/someproject/cmake. Make sure Copy projects into workspace is NOT checked.

Click Finish and you have a CMake project in your workspace.

Two things to note:

I used cmake for the workspace subdir, but you can use a name of your choice. If you make any changes to your build configuration (such as editing Makefile.am), you will need to re-run the last command in order for Eclipse to pick up the changes.
