Referenced projects building [message #1775594]

Setting up a project dependency via:
C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> References

When building the top-level project, it does not build the correct configuration that I have selected in the "References" above. Instead, it builds the 'active' configuration

Same issue as: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/207087/ from a few years back.

Is there a workaround, or is this a bug?

Go to your Project Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols.

The right-most tab is named References, go there and you should find what you need to properly setup your Project references.

There are 2 places to set your project references.
1. is the one you are trying and
2. The one in the same level as C/C++ General named Project References.

Your issue is happening probably because Project References is also checked. I have had the same issue previously.
Where it gets more hairy is that even if you deselect this in second project references, Eclipse will re-select it automatically sometimes.

Hi there,

Have you been able to find a way to prevent this from happening? It's currently happening to me, and it's such a headache. Thanks!
