[Insight-users] Fixed ... build question: Souce/Binary & Eclipse

[Karthik Krishnan]

Maureen:

Please file a bug report at itk.org/Bug. Although not true-out-of-source 
for all intents and purposes, having the binary directory as a child of 
the source directory should work.

To make full use of eclipse functionality, its better to have the binary 
directory to be a child of the source directory, otherwise source code 
navigation, indexing and Version Control integration, using the Team 
Menu goes out of whack. Basically these things fail to function, out of 
the box, outside the "root project directory", in our case the source 
directory.

The disadvantage with this approach is that you cannot have 2 build 
trees (ex: release/debug) for the same source tree, the reason being 
that eclipse stores a .project and a .cproject file in the root 
directory of the project (ie the source directory).


(1)  http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Eclipse
      describes how to import an existing makefile project (possibly 
generated using cmake) into eclipse.

(2)  There is also the Eclipse CMake Unix makefiles generator, which you 
can use instead of (1)
