Yep, Makefile based project. the project originally came with a Makefile that didnt do incremental builds, which was driving me nuts, so I figured I would replace that Makefile with one created by CMake. I just overwrote the original Makefile with one produced by CMake.
In your example below, my build directory is 'MMP' rather than 'Build', but otherwise the same. please see this image: http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.cdt.doc.user/reference/cdt_u_prop_build_settings_steps.htm - My builder type is 'external builder' and I dont have the option of changing that, presumably since it is a makefile project. - I have default build command unticked - my build command is simply - 'make' - I have generate makefiles automatically unticked. - my build location build directory is ${workspace_loc:/mdc/MMP} The build still fails in the same way whether I include the build location in the actual 'build command' string or not (presumably it is set by the build location paramter at the bottom) thanks Steve ----- Original Message ---- > From: Mike Jackson <mike.jack...@bluequartz.net> > To: Steve Mathers <stevenmath...@yahoo.com> > Cc: cmake@cmake.org > Sent: Thursday, 20 August, 2009 11:33:56 AM > Subject: Re: [CMake] CMake Digest, Vol 64, Issue 50 > > Couple more questions just to be clear. > > Did you choose to build a "Makefile" based Eclipse project when you > created your project?
