[Q] Autotools Eclipse plugin & build directory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello fedora-devel-java,

I am using the Autotools Plug-in version 0.9.5.2 from your Eclipse update site, from Eclipse 3.3.1.1 + CDT 4.0.1.

When creating a new autotools project[1], the CDT build directory is hard-wired to ${project_loc}/build. Changing this value to some other (eg. in my case ${worksspace_loc}/_build) is ignored. As a result:

  1. In case a project already has a "build" sub-directory, the
     autotools plugin enthusiastically damage the content of this
     sub-directory
  2. It is not possible to use a single source tree ${project_loc} for
     several build-trees (for example to use several combinations of
     ./configure options)

From my understanding, the plugin should use both ${project_loc} to run the autogen.sh tool, _and_ the GUI-set ${build_dir}to run the configure & make tools.

Is this a missing feature or do I mis-understand something?

Thanks
