| No I wasn't aware of it. The only reference I found after a quick search was in the 2012-1-8 RInside news file.  I think that it would have to be incorporated into Eclipse's build system (not executed as an external tool) in order for all the features I mentioned in the post to work. My understanding is that there is an automatic cmake --> eclipse project converter, but I have not tried it.

Hi,

Dirk, I know I said I would have the completed documentation to you by now, but other work commitments have got in the way sorry. I do hope to get these to you at some stage in the near future.
Ian, cmake can generate eclipse project files. You need to install cmake if it's not already installed, and then just use the -G swtich:

cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles"

More info can be found here: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Eclipse_UNIX_Tutorial
