How to merge from Makefiles to CLion CMake

I am an old Linux/Emacs/make dude now retired I try to learn new stuff :-)

I have an old Linux project that is based on Makefiles building with C starting from top level and building libs and executables in sub-directories in the correct order.

I just included the files into CLion to evaluate the product. I am happy so far but for several features to work I apparently have to use CMake.

Is there a somewhat straightforward way to accomplish this?

I have tried to follow the “Simple setup” that assumes one binary or library but that will obviously not work.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hello!

Could you please specify the features you're interested in? Are those Google Sanitizers and Code Coverage?

I stay away from anything DDR Stasi (AKA Google) if possible

But as far as I have found out handy things like Refactor, jumping to usage or definition and maybe debugging does not work with Makefile projects (I have version 2023.3.3)

All these features should work for Makefile projects. Just in case, you can find the table listing features that are supported for each of the project formats here - https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/project-models.html.

Please do the following:

  1. Close your Makefile project in CLion (File | Close Project);
  2. Remove the .idea subdirectory from the project directory;
  3. On the Welcome to CLion screen, select Open and follow these instructions starting at step 2.

Is the project loaded successfully as a result? Or do you get any errors/warnings in the Build tool window?
