Source files not being parsed in imported cmake project [message #1848950] Sun, 26 December 2021 20:10 Go to next message

I have imported a cmake project into Eclipse. I created a builder that builds all the targets in the cmake. This works, but I have to use the Project->Build All from the toolbar to get it to build. The build button in the toolbar does nothing.

Then when I run or debug, Eclipse runs the last built executable instead of rebuilding. I see a section in the C++ Application configuration called Build (if required) before launching, but I do not see how I can tell it to run the build configuration that is working. I can click Build Configuration and see that the builder is listed, so why isn't it run?

Then Eclipse autocomplete is bare bones, no imports, no members or functions, just C++ keywords. So the static analysis is completely missing from all the source files. This leads me to believe that I need to tell Eclipse where the source files are, but I can not figure out how to do that.

How do I get this working?

Okay, I got it working. I now have access to C++ Build since importing as a Makefile project, and set the build directory to the build folder where cmake generated the makefiles. and then created a run configuration that points to the desired executable. Now the build button works and it builds before running.
