CMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT ------------------------------------- .. versionadded:: 3.6 This cache variable is used by the Eclipse project generator. See :manual:`cmake-generators(7)`. If this variable is set to TRUE, the Eclipse project generator will generate an Eclipse project in :variable:`CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR` . This project can then be used in Eclipse e.g. for the version control functionality. ``CMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT`` defaults to ``FALSE``; so nothing is written into the source directory.
