Managed Makefile alterations [message #176286]

Is there a way to edit what gets manually generated for the makefile?
I've gone through the help files and found where variables can be set but
that's not what I want to change. I am running eclipse on Windows and it
uses RM := rm -rf and I want to change that line to RM := -del. Since the
file is automatically generated any change made is discarded when it gets
created before building.

Thanks in advance,

James

With CDT 3.1 (not sure about earlier versions) there are three include lines
in the Makefile that include user modifiable files. These are something like
makefile.init, makefile.defs and makefile.targets and are expected to be in
the project root directory. Maybe you could create one of these and redefine
RM in that.

You'll have to look at the Makefile to make sure you get the names correct.

Cheers,
Richard
