So, I have been following this thread with some interest. What I have tried a few times but never really succeeded is using Eclipse CDT with the MS compiler. It seems that CDT _really_ works best with a GNU Make versus nmake or anything else. What I am gathering is I should download the utils from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/, have CMake generate Unix Makefiles, then have Eclipse call the "gnu make" that I downloaded from above?
