Hi; i've been happily developing with Eclipse's CDT for some time now, but
yesterday my managed-make project suddenly stopped building.
When I try to build/rebuild my project, nothing happens. No messages in
the C-build window, or in the console from which I launched eclipse. I can
still build it outside of eclipse using the eclipse-generated makefile (by
typing "make" in a console), so it's not that my project isn't compilable
or magically crashes gcc or anything.
I looked at Project-->Properties-->C/C++ build, but in the configuration
settings panel, where there should be a list of things to tweak on the
left and some entry fields to the right (e.g. extra #include & lib paths),
I see only a blank list on the left and a blank gray area on the right.
That was with Eclipse 2.1.3 and cdt 1.2. I tried downloading Eclipse 3.0
and cdt 2.0, but I get the same problem. I'm using sun's jdk1.4.2_01 on
debian linux.
I tried removing my .metadata folder and re-launching eclipse, but that
didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-- Matt

Matt,
Sounds like something in the .cdtbuild file has become corrupted. It's
too bad you blew away the .metadata directory because there would have
been a log file there which might have contained a call stack with some
error information. Probably the best thing to do is raise a bugzilla
report, copy the contents of the .metadata/log file into it.
What happens when you create a new project and move the contents of the
old project over to it?

I tried making a new project and copying the source files over, and that
seemed to work. The project-->properties-->c/c++ build window is now fully
functional.
I actually hadn't nuked my .metadata folder, I just renamed it so it
wouldn't get used. I'll try posting a bugzilla report.
Thanks,

I have this problem constantly, and I'm always having to create a new
project, and then bringing over the source once again from the last
project which ceased to compile.
The last straw was today, when I touched a file. I hit BuildAll and the
app hangs. Sometimes the hard disk works on something for a bit, but
many times there is no drive activity. If I try to cancel, nothing
happens, and if I kill the app, I corrupt the .metadata file. The only
exit is to log off, and then back on. Then, off I go, renaming the
current project to something else, restart Eclipse, create a new C
project, import the old files, re-enter all the build data (defines,
directories, libraries to link) and then I'm back in action, for a build
or two.
No offense to the great folks working on this project, but it is the
most fragile piece of production code I've ever worked with. There is no
way I'm going over to new version. I've finally got a set of workarounds
with this one.
For the record, I'm using Eclipse 2.1.2 and CDT 1.2.1.

Actually,
Moving over to the new version may involve some potential short-term
pain as your projects are converted, but some improvements have been
made to both the internals of the build system and the dependency
generation. From your description, it sounds like the manged builder is
spinning-up the indexer to help it do dependency calculation. The
builder no longer relies on this feature to work, so these types of long
delays before a build are (typically) reduced or eliminated altogether.
Further, some major strides have been made to improve the way the build
model manages its internal data which may reduce or eliminate the number
of times the project data is corrupted due to other failures.
It is entirely up to you, of course.
