Problem with managed make [message #163515]

I have a little problem with managed make.

I have one c file in the root directory of my project.
All other c files are in different sub directories.

Managed make does not compile this c file any more - so I get many linker
errors.
I checked if the file is exlcuded but it didnt seem so.

I copied the file to a subdirectory and now it works.

Any suggestions how to solve this?

Strangely this error was not alway present.
I am running ecl 3.1.1 and cdt 3.0.1 - and I think it worked before on
this configuration. But surely on cdt 3.0.

Best regards

Hi Martin,

did you create the subdirectories as source folders or as (simple) folders?
(From the project's context menu there are entries for New --> Folder and
New --> Source Folder)

If you create one or more source folders then the project root is not
considered a source folder anymore and files located there are not
processed. In this case you'll have to move all your .c files to a source
folder.

I have really no Idea.
Is there a way to determine if a folder is a soure folder or to change
that later on? (Found nothing in the properties tab)

Beside I red in the help the following:
------
Note that source folders can only be currently used with Standard Make
projects. Managed Make projects treat the entire project as a source
folder.
-----

Are you sure that could be the cause? (as I use managed make...)

Best regards

In the C/C++ view source folders have a little round blue "C" decoration in
the lower left corner. Try creating one yourself then you'll see.

You can convert a simple folder into a source folder with the "New Source
Folder" wizard. I do not know of any way to convert a source folder back
into a simple folder.

You are reading the docs. That's good! But I think that the documentation is
not up-to-date here.

Sorry I can't help you more.

As far as I can see no folder is marked with that sign...

No - thank you. Now I know of the existance of source folders ;)

Strange development:

Yesterday I spent a little time to get the file compiled and in the end I
had to copy it to a different folder.

Today the compiler was complainig about double definition - so I deleted
the copy again.

Now it suddenly uses the file from the root dir...

Thanks for your help!
(Dont know how but the problem seems to have disappeared ;)
