Issue
I am using cmake to configure my project. I visualize project's files using qtcreator which read the CMakeLists.txt. I have a few text files (non-code: config files, log, ..) and I would like to add them to my cmake project without (of course) compiling/linking them. Is it possible ? The main goal it to open them automatically in the tree of my project with qtcreator and edit them ... Thanks for help.
Solution
You should be able to just add them to your list of sources in whichever add_executable or add_library call is appropriate and they will appear in the IDE.
I believe CMake uses the files' extensions to determine if they are actual source files, so if yours have extensions like ".txt" or ".log" they won't be compiled.
