Hi all,
I am not able to generate a exe for particular project,getting nothing to be build for project, what I did, I will explain below..
firstly I installed the eclipse IDE,then installed the visual C/C++ tool chain,then importing a hole VC++ project in Eclipse IDE while clicking
File->import->Project from folder or archive->import the source->finish
After this I am able to see the hole project folder in Eclipse IDE,
then I want to run that project so for that I created a new C/C++ project,
Righting clicking the import folder->import->C/C++->Existing project as Makefile project
then specifying
Project Name: "....."
Existing code location: "......."
Tool chain for indexer setting: "Microsoft visual C++"
while clicking finish able to see the project file and able to build it and run the project also(exe)...
but after some days later while running same project getting "nothing to be build for project" and not able to see the exe also.
So I tried once again importing hole folder ,then generating the new C/C++ project ,while generating new project able to give name of the project,location and toolchain but after clicking finish I am not able to see the new created project.
So my query is:
1.How to rebuild that old project and generate exe file ? OR
2.How to import the VC++ project in Eclipse IDE and run the project successfully?
Please suggest me.
Regards,
Asha.S.D

Your account of what you've done is confusing.
The primary reason for using File->import->Project from folder or archive is to import an existing Eclipse project into the workspace.
It seems what you really wanted to do was to create a Makefile project using File->import.
- File --> Import --> C/C++ --> Existing Code as Makefile Project
- select a directory containing the source (or one of its ancestors)
This will be the project directory
- Fill out the dialog
- press "Finish"
This will then create .project and .cproject files in the new project directory.
It's not clear how you got the makefile itself or even if you are using one.
At one time, Eclipse couldn't use the Visual project file and required you to use VC to generate a makefile.
Quote:... while clicking finish able to see the project file and able to build it and run the project also(exe)...
but after some days later while running same project getting "nothing to be build for project" and not able to see the exe also.
It worked for a couple of days but then stopped working?
The normal make message would be make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
It means that all resultant files (executable and objects) are up-to-date.
You should still be able to see the executable though.
I think there's something you aren't telling us.
- Can you be more precise about how you do the build ?
- What are you running to do the build (GNU Make, NMake, something else)?
- how do you tell it what needs to be done?
- how to you start the build?
- Explain what you are doing to execute the program
- Are you trying to build before every run?
What were you doing when you got the "nothing to be build for project" message?
