cannot build dependent projects in eclipse [message #683602]

Hi,

I am trying to build a main project dependent on a static library project called "sort". I always get an error message
"makefile:31: *** multiple target patterns. Stop."

I am using eclipse on Windows 7 with version
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers

Version: Helios Service Release 2
Build id: 20110218-0911

I searched online and found people saying something about paths not correct, like somekind of ":" in the paths. So I followed their advice and changed the include direcotory paths and library paths to '/cygdrive/d/msamal/projects/eclipse" but it still doesnt work...

The static library project builds successfully and generates .a file. But the main project does not build. Any help will be appreciated.

cygwin installed at c:\cygwin
eclipse installed at c:\program files\eclipse
project files/workspace set to d:\msamal\projects\eclipse

for some reason i cannot attach project files, so pasting makefile here:-

***************************************************************************
################################################################################
# Automatically-generated file. Do not edit!
################################################################################

-include ../makefile.init

RM := rm -rf

# All of the sources participating in the build are defined here
-include sources.mk
-include subdir.mk
-include objects.mk

ifneq ($(MAKECMDGOALS),clean)
ifneq ($(strip $(C_DEPS)),)
-include $(C_DEPS)
endif
endif

-include ../makefile.defs

# Add inputs and outputs from these tool invocations to the build variables

# All Target
all: record_sort.out

dependents:
-cd D:/msamal/projects/eclipse/sort/Debug && $(MAKE) clean all

# Tool invocations
record_sort.out: $(OBJS) $(USER_OBJS) D:/msamal/projects/eclipse/sort/Debug/libsort.a
@echo 'Building target: $@'
@echo 'Invoking: Cygwin C Linker'
gcc -static -L"/cygdrive/d/msamal/projects/eclipse/sort" -o"record_sort.out" $(OBJS) $(USER_OBJS) $(LIBS)
@echo 'Finished building target: $@'
@echo ' '

# Other Targets
clean:
-$(RM) $(OBJS)$(C_DEPS)$(EXECUTABLES) record_sort.out
-@echo ' '

.PHONY: all clean dependents
.SECONDARY:
D:/msamal/projects/eclipse/sort/Debug/libsort.a:

-include ../makefile.targets

***************************************************************************

Thanks,
Sam

There are still colons in your makefile. The dependency for the main target still uses the Windows path with colons.

There are two open bug reports about this.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=117013
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=181713

You should read them. There are some workarounds mentioned.

Before you ask
- search this forum
- see the FAQ http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ
- google
