I have been using Qt Creator as an IDE for some C++ project (non-QT) and I love it. Recently I have been thinking to try out Eclipse mainly for learning a new tool and also the fact that I’m not a big fan of the debugger mode in Qt Creator!

Anyhow, I figured I could potentially use the makefile generated by the qmake, but though hey let’s also learn CMake! So, I was wondering if someone could point me to some nice tutorials on this (I have not had much luck myself)? Specifically, I like to have the ability to create and maintain CMakeList.txt files and build/run the project directly within Eclipse … just as you would by editing a .pro file inside Qt Creator.

Thanks

    CMake includes an Eclipse CDT4 generator since version 2.6; you should probably take a look at this page, it explains three different possibilities for using Eclipse and CMake together. From my personal experience, solution 1 works pretty well in Unix environments.
