[Q] Autotools Eclipse plugin & build directory
by Francois-Xavier KOWALSKI
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
