How to incorporate bash build scripts to an Eclipse project? [message #506883]

Hi there!

I am currently working in a c++ project under linux, and I use bash scripts to initiate the environment variables. I am trying to move to eclipse, but I have problems compiling my existing projects.

My project is in the folder:

/home/user/framework/app/myproject

I first need to go to

/home/user/framework/

and run locally a script setup (. ./setup)

and then I can go back to my project directory and run make (which points to make files in different directories, defined by environment variables set by the ./setup script)

Is there any way to overrule the default building rules of eclipse and add this script in the beginning in order to set the (many) environment variables automatically?

Cheers Smile

For my java project I use an 'externalToolBuilder' which is an Eclipse concept. I've never tried it for C++ but it may work too. In my case, every time I build my java project, I have this external builder also build some C code I have in that project, using make.

You can add an additional builder to your project (see Project Properties).
