I'm trying to import my Cmake project in QtCreator, which I'd want to use as code editor, but with completition for Qt classes an the possibility to do the build via Ctrl+R

When importing the Cmake project, the QtCreator ide hangs when running CMakeWizard when I try to select RunCmake. If I cancel an empty windows pops up and the project is not generated.

Is it possible to import an existing cmake project in QtCreator?

Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64, QtCreator 2.6

Normally you just do "Open Project" and then select the CMakeLists.txt as the project file. QtCreator will then ask you to run CMake once (to generate a CodeBlocks build file, which is then interpreted by QtCreator). After that you have native support for your CMake project.

It even works with rather complicated CMake scripts. If you observe hangs etc., you should probably file a bug report with the QtCreator project.
