Indigo, CDT 8.0.0.201106081058

The projects properties dialog has under C/C++ build
the feature logging

filling a correct filename in "log file location" and enabling build logging works great!

but...
Does this "log file location" support variables?

(variables from workspace or environment, like Build directory, build location of C/C++ build dialog)

I couldn't find documentation about it, any info is welcomed

No, it does not. This location is intended to keep "temporary" log, just to support "Copy Build Log" icon on the console toolbar. The idea behind it being configurable is to allow using a different filesystem in case of problems with space.

Thanks for your answer.

We are several in a team working in the same project.
The "start level" of the project files structure is different for some of the developers, while the directory structure is the same and resides outside the eclipse workspace, via the virtual folders and links to the files.
We share the submodules on the same super-project repository under git.
For all the files in the project we manage tu use the "variables" offered by eclipse giving us the correct path so the projects location is completely relative, also for compiling we lunch our "external" makefile based in environment variables.
The only file that is absolute is this console logfile.

It will be great if in a future release this can support "variables" too.

This console logfile is parsed to search for errors and other things with our scripts. As it has an absolute path, we need to modify manually to point to the correct place for each eclipse installation (instead of just depending in the same "variable" as all the other files)

If you want it to be considered for a future release please submit a request in bugzilla. And if you are really interested to get it in sooner - patches are welcome.
