Eclipse CDT4 — CMake 4.0.1-dirty Documentation

# Eclipse CDT4

Deprecated since version 3.27: Support for Extra Generators is deprecated and will be removed from a future version of CMake. IDEs may use the `cmake-file-api(7)` to view CMake-generated project build trees.

Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.

Project files for Eclipse will be created in the top directory. In out of source builds, a linked resource to the top level source directory will be created. Additionally a hierarchy of makefiles is generated into the build tree. The appropriate make program can build the project through the default `all` target. An `install` target is also provided.

This "extra" generator may be specified as:

`Eclipse CDT4 - MinGW Makefiles`

  Generate with `MinGW Makefiles`.

`Eclipse CDT4 - NMake Makefiles`

  Generate with `NMake Makefiles`.

`Eclipse CDT4 - Ninja`

  Generate with `Ninja`.

`Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles`

  Generate with `Unix Makefiles`.
