Eclipse + QMake - general purpose building system

Eclipse CDT: great C++ IDE
QMake: simple but powerful make-based build system

QMake does not work only for Qt toolkit, it could be used for other projects.

How I set up CDT + QMake:

1. get CDT and Qt
2. configure CDT to what you like (e.g. showing line number, etc.)
3. add 2 external tools running at project location, one runs qmake -project, and another does qmake -spec macx-g++
1. qmake -project is used to scan the folders, and pick out what will be c++ compile. It will generate a .pro file
2. qmake alone (or with -spec) will read the .pro file and generate the actual Makefile.
4. make a qmake.conf file to be included in the .pro file (with a line of include(qmake.conf)). This is to separate special settings from the .pro file, which would get erased when qmake -project is run.
5. Sample qmake.conf

   
   

   CONFIG -= qt
   CONFIG += release
   TARGET = test2
   DESTDIR = build
   MOC_DIR = build
   RCC_DIR = build
   OBJECTS_DIR = build
   INCLUDEPATH += /my/own/include
   #LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib -lglfw -lGLEW -lglut -lGLU -lGL
   QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -F/System/Library/Frameworks
   QMAKE_LFLAGS += -F/System/Library/Frameworks
   LIBS += -framework GLUT -framework OpenGL
   

Eclipse CDT resolves Mac Framework include path

Including framework's headers in CDT might encounter issues:

#include <GLUT/glut.h>

CDT indexer doesn't understand this since there is no actual path called "GLUT", but the GLUT.framework/Headers
Use soft links:

• Create a include folder (e.g. ~/include) or cd /usr/include
• ln -s /System/Library/Framworks/GLUT.framework/Headers ${your_include}/GLUT
