I'm using Europa (3.2.100) and CDT 4.0.0 RC3 and I can't get it to work.
This is how I've been trying to do it:
On windows:
1/ Create a new Eclipse workspace
2/ Add a new project (Project1) to the workspace
3/ Add a single sourcefile (main.cpp) to the project
4/ Close Eclipse and copy .cproject, .project and main.cpp over to a linux
machine.
On Linux:
1/ Create a new workspace
2/ Import Project1 into the workspace
The project fails to build with the following error:
Errors running builder 'CDT Builder' on project 'Project1'.
Parent of resource: /blah/../Project1/Debug is marked as read-only
Can anyone confirm that what I'm trying to do isn't possible?
Rgds,
MikeB

Hi Mike,
You can export the preferences in File->Export... and in selecting
General/preferences and imported in Linux.
I use that to migrate between windows, linux and mac OS X.
