During the recent Q&A session on Reddit, we got a surprising number of questions about our plans for Meson support. Today we are going to show you how you can already use Meson-based projects in CLion. For this we will use compilation database support in CLion. Meson is a relatively new build system that strives to be fast yet simple to use. It converts build scripts written in a Python-like language into one of the backend build systems: Ninja (the default and recommended one), Visual Studio, or Xcode. Recently Meson has started to gain popularity among C++ developers. CLion currently doe

What can I do if something goes wrong and my project fails to load correctly? What are the known issues and limitations? (more…)

On May 7, we ran an exciting CLion Ask Me Anything session. 2 hours, 9 speakers, 7 demos, and 140+ questions – this was really inspiring and motivating for the team and hopefully useful for all attendees. The most frequent comment afterwards from the team members was, “Let’s do this again!”. We’d also like to say huge thanks for all your compliments and good wishes in the questions pane! The recording of the webinar is now available on the JetBrainsTV YouTube channel. And here are some useful timestamps so you can instantly jump to any section: C++ language support 02:29 - The evo

Update: Makefile projects support is now public in CLion 2020.2. What request in our tracker has more than 1000 votes, 370 comments, and 800 watchers? You guessed it: Support Makefile projects.

From past to present: the evolution of project models in CLion Support for Makefile projects: How-to Option 1: Compiler wrappers Option 2: LD_PRELOAD Option 3: Parse the output of Make Support fo

Hi, A new CLion 2019.3 EAP (build 193.4697.8) is now available! Get it from our website, via the Toolbox App, or as a snap package (if you are using Ubuntu). A patch-update for anyone using the previous EAP build will be available shortly. DOWNLOAD CLION 2019.3 EAP CMake remains the most deeply integrated project model in CLion. However, from the very beginning, we supported only the Makefiles generator. This limitation was caused by the fact that CLion was parsing the output of CMake command run with parameters such as -G “CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles”, -G "CodeBlocks - MinGW Mak
