[cmake-developers] Eclipse CDT Managed build

[Bøe, Sebastian]

I was not aware that this was a non-goal. Thank you
for feedback.

I am sorry if my use-case sounds foreign, but I can't use cmake server mode,
because I can't modify the IDE.

I will investigate relocatable builds, because in spite of this not being
trivial, I think CMake still comes out as the best suited technology for my use-case.

This is also an explicit non-goal of CMake.

That is likely not compatible with CMake's notion of maintaining the build system.

This is why previous similar discussions resulted in the cmake server mode and in identifying the value of a declarative spec format that can be managed outside of CMake's language processor.
