Import existing C++ makefile project into JetBrains Appcode?

Question

Ok, I'm impatient. I'm a JetBrains PhpStorm user and cannot wait for the release of their C++ IDE. :-) Their Objective-C IDE, Appcode, also supports C++. But I can't find a good way to import a fairly large C++ project into Appcode, other than clumsy copying files one at a time.

What's a good way to create a new Appcode project that will use an existing directory structure of C++ code? It's in Git, if that makes any difference.

It's so frustrating that this is so challenging to do. – Chromatolysis

Answer 1

You can use the Jetbrains CMake plugin here: You must create a CMake project file instead of your makefile and then you can import your project directly there.

I'm not familiar with TeamCity. Will that TeamCity plugin also work with AppCode? – Waylon

@Waylon according to their website, it seems so. plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/1820?pr=phpStorm – Nitrification
