将 Cmake 与 Qt Creator 一起使用

I would like to use Qt creator and Cmake together (please, don't ask me about my motivation, accept this as a given.)

I successfully set up Qt creator to use cmake "Cmake": see this, this and this documents regarding how I did that.

I successfully create hello world project, but I can't create files in project, only add existing files to project tree and after that adding it to cmake list. Standard operation of Qt creator "Add New..." doesn't work and I can't find why.

Is there anybody who uses Qt creator and "Cmake" together? Is the combination actually possible?

Note: I'm using Qt creator v2.4.1.

You can add files using glob expression in your CMakeLists.txt, like this:

file(GLOB SRC . *.cpp)
add_executable (your_exe_name ${SRC})

Cmake will pick your new cpp files next time you run it and QtCreator will show them in the project browser.

Update

This solution may be useful but as noted in comments - this is not a good practice. Every time somebody add new source file and commit changes, you need to rerun cmake to build all the sources. Usually I just touch one of the CMakeLists.txt files if my build is broken after I pool recent changes from repository. After that make will run cmake automatically and I didn't need to run it by hands. Despite of that I think that explicit source lists in CMakeLists.txt is a good thing, they called thing CMake Lists for a reason.
