"Build All" (CTRL+B or Toolbar button) does not build all configurations [message #771130] Mon, 26 December 2011 12:01 Go to next message

Dear all,

I have a project in Eclipse CDT (Indigo SR1) on Linux 64 and it uses the "External builder" and "Generate Makefiles automatically" options.

I defined 4 build configurations (2 for Debug and 2 for Release).

Building each configuration separately works well.

However, the "Build All" shortcut or toolbar button or menu option does not build ALL configurations, but only one of them (namely, I think, the active configuration / the last one to have been built).

This is somewhat cumbersome, as I would like to test the proper build of all configurations.

Do you have any ideas why this happens?

Thank you.

Did try. Even deleted all the build folders and pressed again CTRL+B. Still, just one configuration is built.

More, the build log logs only one configuration as being built.

You are mistaken about what Build All does. It builds all projects in
the Workspace. It doesn't build all configurations. It only builds the
active configuration for each project.

Thank you, "Missing Name" (?)

I solved the problem. I am not confused about what Build All does, as I used it previously to build all configurations in my project.

Actually, you have the choice:

Windows->Preferences->C/C++->Build->Build Scope->"Commands Build Projects, Build All, Build Working Set"

and pick either:

"Build active configuration in each active project" (for the behaviour that you state)

or

"Build all configurations in each project" (the behaviour that I've been expected)

On my Eclipse, it was the first option that was activated, I simply choose the second.

If anybody knows how to mark this thread as "Solved", please do it.

Thank you everybody.

Thanks for the additional information. I wasn't aware of the additional
behavior.
