CMake can generate Eclipse projects. Have you tried it?

I just did, works great - all include paths are set up properly (!).

Apparently CMake deletes the C++ files which are generated by
TableGen, is it possible to tell CMake to not throw them away?

I'm impressed how easy this is, you only need to do a "cmake -G
'Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles' $SRCDIR" in your $OBJDIR and import
the project created in $OBJDIR into Eclipse.

Thanks for adding CMake support to LLVM!

Greetings,

Tilmann

Certainly the build does not delete those files. Maybe you looked at the
wrong place. Try $OBJDIR/lib/Target/X86, for instance. There you will
see the *.inc files that TableGen creates.

You're welcome.
