Hi,
I'm trying to use eclipse-cdt to cross-compile a project that uses jam as build system.
I managed to import the project through the SVN plugin, but I'm unable to build the project.
From the project properties I unchecked the "use default build command" option, and replaced with jam. I also unchecked the "Generates makefile automatically".
When I try to build system I get.
(Cannot run program "jam": Unknown reason)
but jam is correctly install
emitrax@xartimequad:~$ jam -v
Jam 2.5-haiku-20090626. OS=LINUX. Copyright 1993-2002 Christopher Seiwald.
emitrax@xartimequad:~$ which jam
/usr/local/bin/jam
emitrax@xartimequad:~$
and the path of the binary is in the PATH variable of the eclipse enviroment
Project -> Properties -> C/C++ build -> environment
PATH: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/bin/
I googled a bit and someone suggest to disable the "use parallel build option", but it didn't solve my problem.
I also tried to replace jam with the make command to see if the message would be different, but I still get the useless "Cannot run program "jam": Unknown reason" message.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.
S.

Does jam need any special shared libs that it cannot find when started within Eclipse? Can you check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or ldd jam)?

That is weird. Are you sure that you substituted jam with the make command only in Project Properties->C/C++ Build "build command"? Can you grep for jam in your .cproject file (it is hidden in the project folder)?
BTW, which Eclipse/CDT version are you using?
Before you ask
- search this forum
- see the FAQ http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ
- google

And so it worked!
I went to check the dependencies as you suggested and he gave me a weird "no permission error". Weird because apparently it got installed with the execution permission but not the reading one.
A simple chmod +r to the binary fixed my problem.
Thanks again.
