Hello,
I'm using eclipse 3.0 and CDT 2.0.1 to build ICU
(http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu) on Linux. I've set up an external tool
to run the configure script that must be run *before* building ICU. When
I run this tool, eclipse first tries to build the project, which in the
best case means that it does a lot of work that will need to be done
again as soon as the configure script is run.
Is there any way to tell eclipse to not do a build before running the
external tool? Failing that, is there a way to stop a build?
Regards,

I don't see that option for external tools. In fact, I don't even see it
for Ant scripts... just some options for running the builder during
"clean", "manual" or "auto" builds.

Sorry! My mistake. The dialog I was thinking of was when you
right-click an Ant script and click Run -> Ant Build... There is a
Build tab there that let's you specify whether to build first or not.
The dialog looked so similar to the project builder dialog I assumed it
was the same one. Sorry.
What about Window -> Preferences -> Run/Debug -> Launching and uncheck
"Build (if required) before launching"?

Eric,
Did you try the following:?
click on a source file (so properties will show)
Project -> properties
Builders -> edit
add the run requirements for your tool
after OK, still on the Builder pane, select your custom builder & then
select UP until it is at the top.
Then your Builder tool runs before the make file that runs the compilation.
If you want to stop the normal build running, deselect the Generated
Makefile Builder. If you want to run normal build without your extra tool,
deselect your build tool.

I'm talking about *CDT* and an *External Tool* not Java and a builder.
There is no notion of an order in the setup for an external tool, as far
as I can tell.
All I want is a way to say "don't build the project before running this
tool."

Eric Mader

I never got an answer to this question. Is there really no way to tell
CDT that I don't want it to build the project before running a
particular tool? Is there some other way that I should be running the
configure script? Should I submit a bug about this?
I would really appreciate an official answer to this question - it's
very frustrating to have to build my project twice each time the
configure script changes.

Eric Mader
