Re: [ptp-user] eclipse PTP + cmake ( + synchronized projects)

[George Zagaris <george.zagaris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Alternatively, you can try using one of the CMake project generators.
Eclipse support was added in recent CMake versions. Checkout the
"cmake -G" flag. I exclusively use eclipse for development and love
its parallel debugging capabilities for MPI applications. I have been
very happy with being able to import eclipse projects generated by the
CMake Eclipse generator. The main advantage of this approach is that
you can build your project within the Eclipse IDE without switching to
a terminal which is what I used to do for a long time.

Hope this helps!

Best,
George
