I forgot to mention that my M01 is still in China. Thus, I couldn’t test Kaleidoscope-CMake’s upload feature. But it’s there.

I’d love to see how the IDE integration works for an embedded project like this. Does everything magically ‘just work’?

Tomorrow I’m going to try this in CLion which needs a CMake file. I was trying to hack one together. But with no “real world” C experience, and absolute no CMake experience, it was very slow going. So thanks @noseglasses for putting this together! I’ll let you know how it works.

Yes, this magic is the whole point of it. In Kdevelop, the IDE I mostly use, you just select Open/Import Project... then the CMakeList.txt file in your Kaleidoscope-CMake folder and then a binary folder where the generated files are placed. The latter might be preexisting if you already build at th…

FWIW, embedded or not embedded. From the point of the build system and IDE integration that does not matter at all. The build system sees just a compiler, a bunch of files and some relations between them, just as if it was an ordinary host build.

CLion supports CMake naturally. Actually it uses it for its own project management. The following link points to some information about how to open/import CMake projects (Kaleidoscope-CMake). https://blog.jetbrains.com/clion/2015/04/cmake-support-in-clion/

@noseglasses - I’ve been trying to tease apart the reason behind Arduino-CMake and its duplication of the actual compilation logic built into arduino-builder. As far as I can tell, the original dates from before arduino-builder existed as a standalone tool. At that time, the only option was to use t…

[image] jesse: Is there a reason, other than ‘hack value’, that you decided to reimplement, rather than wrap the various non-compilation targets and kaleidoscope-builder features? I am glad you asked, and thank you for taking the time. There are several reasons behind Kaleidoscope-CMake (and …

[image] Javaru: Tomorrow I’m going to try this in CLion which needs a CMake file. Just out of curiosity, what’s your experience? Did you get along with it or do you need any support?

[image] Terminology (plugin, module, project, etc.) As I understand it, ‘modules’ are a newish c++ core feature. Nope, the term module is very old and modular programming has been around for ages. At least slightly longer than the term Arduino Library. It is right, though, that future C++ will…

Do you have some sort of crystal ball? If you have, I bet it runs Arduino.
