Digikam/Hacking with Eclipse

Creating the eclipse project with cmake as an out-of-source build:

Inside the folder that is used for the out-of-source build (must not be a child of the original source folder) do: cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ \ -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=ON \ -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-pedantic \ -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-pedantic \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug \ -DECLIPSE_CDT4_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT=TRUE \ ../../digikam/ <-- your source folder This creates two eclipse projects. One in the build directory for building and one in the source folder for using Eclipse version control on the sources.
