Revision history [back]

We typically do not use eclipse projects in eclipse for ros. Makefile projects seem to work well and require almost no configuration.

• Create your ros package (with roscreate-pkg)
• Start eclipse from your ros shell (or in a bash script which calls setup.bash first).
• Create a new empty makfile c++ project rooted at your project
• Add 'set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE TRUE)` in your CMakeLists.txt

The last point helps the indexer auto-find headers because it will track all the -I flag settings that ros's make target generates.

• Finally build and clean using the default build/clean options.

You can then get creative by adding make targets in the ide for tests etc.
