Automatically kill/terminate launched binary before compiling? [message #647201]

Hi,

Just wondering if there's a way to get eclipse to auto terminate an application before re-compiling?

If I forget to kill the app, I end up with an error like this:
" c:/qt/2010.02.1/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/../../../ ../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot open output file debug\CSV_Scrubber.exe: Permission denied
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/workspace/SVN/CSV Scrubber'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make[1]: *** [debug\CSV_Scrubber.exe] Error 1
mingw32-make: *** [debug] Error 2"

Then I have to kill the app and re-compile...

(I'm using eclipse w/ C++ & Qt, if this belongs in the cdt forum I'll head there but it seemed it might be an eclipse usage issue)

Thanks!

Matt

Did you see the "sticky" topic at the top of this forum group about
C/C++ questions? Try posting in the CDT forum group if you don't get
response here.

Yea I saw the sticky, I just didn't know if was a C/C++ specific issue.

The solution I ended up with was to make a new builder that ran a batch file to terminate the application.

set sourceDir="%~p0"
set sourceDir=%sourceDir:\=;%
set sourceDir=%sourceDir: =:%

for /F "tokens=* delims=;" %%i IN (%sourceDir%) DO call :lastDir %%i
goto :EOF

:lastDir
if "%1"=="" (
  set dirName=%dirName::= %
  goto :terminate
)

set dirName=%1
SHIFT

goto :lastDir

:terminate

set "exeName=%dirName%.exe"
set exeName=%exeName: =_%
taskkill /F /IM "%exeName%"

Based on:

One downside is that you have to put the script in each project directory.
