automatically call make when debug/run [message #181784]

Hi,

I have a standard make C++ project. Every time I run/debug the
application, Eclipse automatically calls make to rebuild. Are there
anyway to disable that?

Thanks!
Mike

"Projects" -> "Build Automatically": make sure there's no checkbox in front of
this item.

If so, click on that item and the checkbox should disappear...

Best rgds,

Thanks, but it doesn't work.

The "Build automatically" option only affects whether the project is
rebuilt or not once there is a source change.

My problem is that when running or debugging, the make is called first
even though there is no source change. Certainly make does not
re-compile everything, but I wonder why the make must be called before
running/debugging, or my setting is incorrect.

Thanks!

That's common IDE behaviour in general -- both MSVC and CodeWarrior do it;
*especially* if you have Build Automatically off, it protects you against
debugging
an executable against source that has been updated but not built.

Have a look at Preferences->Run/Debug. Disable "Build before launching" in
General Options.
