[CMake] Q: Compile and Run

[Jakub Zakrzewski]

Hi,

QtCreator undestands CMake output. I doesn't parse CMake on its own. Basically, when you hit "Build", the native build mechanism is invoked (on Linux it defaults to make), which, in turn, invokes CMake. If there are errors in CMakeLists.txt, they will be shown in your build output as normal build errors.

So it is enough to invoke "make" to make everything run. That means, that if you're in the roght dorectory you can use ":make" in vim and it'll work.

Hello

If have just a little Question:

I noticed thadt the manuals and Helpfiles and allways describing the Way to generate makefiles, XCode Workspaces and Visual C/C++ Solutionfiles and right now iam using the generated Workspaces or Makefiles to use the native Makeutility or the VC++ or XCode IDE to finish the build

But:

Sometimes i use QtCreator for editing my CMakeLists.txt files because it has built in Support for CMake, Syntaxhighlighting and Tabcompletion.I noticed QtCreator can generate (for instance on Windows) the final EXE or DLL  just on hitting the build / Run Button. Is this a generall feature of CMake or just a thing QtCreator can do? Can i archive the same behavior im EMacs or VI?

Hint: I noticed QtCreator does NOT generate just a own workspace as a parse/import/convert Result of CMakeLists.txt because, any change on it (for example: on
misstyping) the Error is
directly showing as Error after hitting the rebuild button in the QtCreator IDE.

Thanks, Dravion
