Eclipse CDT 5.x and cmake 2.6.x

Question

According to what I see, cmake 2.6.x supports CDT 4.x. We already have CDT 6.x. Is CDT 5.x and cmake 2.6.x are compatible at least?

Thanks Dima

Answer 1

Yes, it is.

The eclipse CDT 4.x project generated by cmake is compatible with next versions.

I use them everyday, and work like a charm:

• cmake: version 2.6-patch 2 (Ubuntu 8.10)
• eclipse: version 3.4.1
• CDT: version 5.0.1

I have also tried to import those projects with CDT 6 and all it keep working. Would be really bad if you were not be able to reuse projects from old versions. Backward compatibility is really important for serious applications.
