No output from make with CMake [message #1752974]

Hi there,
I have just recognized that CDT provides some experimental support for CMake.
Since I use CMake for all of my C++ projects this is an important improvement for me. So far everything works fine except this little issue I have encountered:
When building the project I can see the output of CMake in the Console but it does not show the output of the subsequent make command.

This is particularly bad when using make test to run the unit tests (also done with CMake).
Is this a bug or am I missing some configuration option here?

Thanks in advance and best regards
Eugen

Are you referring to cmake4eclipse?

I have noticed that sometimes it stops showing the make output and only shows the cmake output. Restarting eclipse seems to fix it. I've not yet figured out what causes this to happen.

Hi, the problem is to do with the Console window. You need to click on the "Display Selected Console" button that looks like a little blue computer monitor and select "CDT Global Build Output". You can also just press the button and it toggles between the different views. I have three consoles: cmake, CDT build, and CDT Global build.
