Hi all,
I was using classic Unix Makefile generator until I found a webpage
explaining CMake could produce a nice xcode project file using
"cmake -G Xcode" so I ran that command in my source directory and I
get a nice xcode project. This is great but I'm facing some drawback
and was wondering if there are solutions to these :
- now I can't build out of tree using unix makefiles (I use to run
cmake ../myproj in a build dir and then make command) this doesn't
work anymore (I suppose temp files in the project dir are responsible)
- some of my headers are generated by cmake (myproj.h.in became
myproj.h and is include in some tests for example) but I can't find
those files in the xcode project I get.
Thanks in advance for any good advice on how I can combine xcode
project and unix makefile to be able to use both.
Use 2 separate build directories for each type of build files, ie, use
Build-make for makefiles and Build-xcode for Xcode project builds.
This will ensure each build directory has the correct build files and
generated files for its use.
In your add_executable() command, in addition to the source files also
include the headers and generated headers for those to show up in Xcode.
Lastly, in the Xcode preferences, under the "Debugging" topic you may
want to turn OFF the "Load Symbols Lazily" so debugging actually works.
<opinion>If Xcode is too much of a pain and you are NOT building 64
bit binaries then you can try Eclipse CDT instead. It will work with
your makefiles OR you can use the Eclipse CDT generator to generate an
actual Eclipse CDT project. I personally use Eclipse CDT with plain
makefiles and am very happy with it. There seems to be an issue with
Eclipse being able to recognize a 64 bit binary. You can still build
them but the Eclipse CDT debugger does not recognize them to actually
debug them. bummer.</opinion>
<Even more lastly>Qt has "QtCreator" which is starting to get support
for Makefiles. In early versions it looked very promising and was
faster to edit files than either Eclipse or Xcode. Just something to
keep on eye on.</Even more lastly>
