Re: [cdt-dev] Antwort: [Newsletter] Re: CMake support in Eclipse CDT

Hi folks,

I have been following this discussion with some interest, however it
seems to me that these discussions are happening on the wrong forum.
By that I mean all these discussions should be happening on cmake and
cmake should be improved (by us aka cdt devs!) to provide exactly what
an IDE requires (i.e. full paths to executables, resolved compiler
flags, etc).

It would almost certainly be less effort for cmake to just do the
right thing and have CDT consume a much simpler artefact from cmake.
