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.
With xcode projects you could also use "xcodebuild" from the
command
line to
build the project.
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

something to
keep on eye on.</Even more lastly>
QtCreator supports loading CodeBlocks project files, which cmake
can
generate
(this was added to QtCreator especially for the purpose of better
support for
cmake)
QtCreator has bulit-in support for CMakeLists.txt files.
No it does not, it generates a CodeBlocks file behind the scenes
and then
uses the information from that to supply include directories and so
on to
the rest of the IDE. I didn't check how it actually builds cmake
projects,
but I'm guessing it uses one of the Makefile generators (i.e.
unix-makefiles or nmake) in the configured builddir to build the
projects.

That's true, it uses UNIX Makefiles (I am on MacOSX). But, this is
happening behind the scenes and the process is well integrated into
the IDE.

Actually, the latest release candidate of QtCreator has "basic"
makefile support so hopefully that would mature more in the near
future. I also had the opportunity to chat with one of the QtCreator
developers about the CMake support in QtCreator and basically
generating a CodeBlocks file behind the scenes (which could take a
while for large projects) so that they can then parse the xml to find
include directories, link flags, compile flags and all that. There was
also information that was _missing_ from the xml that was actually
needed by QtCreator. Turns out the Visual Studio project file has
everything that is needed but obviously only available on Windows
systems. Basically what this boils down to is there may need to be a
new generator for QtCreator. This would require cooperation between
the QtCreator team and the developers creating that generator so that
everything that is needed is put into the generator. This will end up
being kind of a boot strapping process at first but in the end I think
would be well worth it for both CMake and QtCreator.
I am currently buried with work so the most I can do is just
dream. If someone else wants to start something that would be great.
You can usually find the QtCreators on their IRC channel.
