Removing project from Build All command [message #202201]

Hi,

I've got two C++ projects, let's call them "Engine" and "Tool". "Engine"
is a set of sources we maintain to be used in other projects, but we
don't compile it to be any kind of library - we just use it as external
sources accessible via #include. On the other hand "Tool" is a normal
project which compiles to binary executable, it uses part of "Engine"
sources.

So I would like to have both projects open at the same time in Project
explorer. The problem is that i have neither Makefile for "Engine" nor
external build command fro it - because it should not be build at all.

I would like to use a "Build All" IDE command to build my "Tool" project
with "Engine" being opened at same time as well. But I don't like the
error messages I get for "Engine" project like "Exec error:Launching
failed" because of no build command is specified for it. Can I exclude
this project from "build all" or mark it somehow that is should not be
built?

Why do you not provide a dummy Makefile (a single line "all:" in it should
be sufficient) or provide a special build command such as "true" (which does
nothing but reports success)?

Hi Jens,

Thanks for the idea. I've come to dummy Makefile myself, but using of
"true" command seems more elegant to me.
