Error parsing in external build [message #229513]

I'm pretty new to using Eclipse, I compile my project using SCONS. I'm
calling SCONS builder as an external build.
I noticed that the external build is using it's own console window. Errors
are not passed to the Problems Window from this console.
How can I manage the errors to appear in the Problems Window so when
double clicking them I will get to the source code? Is there a way to tell
it to use the C error parser? Do I need to write my own parser? If so, how
can I do that.

Thanks in advance,
Hezi,

How exactly do you run your build? Do you use "External tools" or
something else? If you use launch configurations such as "External tools",
"Run as" or "Debug as" error parsing is not available in that mode. You
need to use "Build Project" or build using make target in Make Targets
View.

Thanks for answering. I'm using External tool to run my builder or ANT.
I understand that error parsing is not available. Can I make it available
(maybe by changing the external tool plugin?)
Also when running from ANT I get the errors in the console but they are
not passed to the Problems Window.

You can achieve it in 2 ways:
1. Specify your build command in Project->Properties->C++ Build->Build
Command. This would let you to build using Project->Build Project or
Ctrl-B or hammer icon.
2. Create make target in Make Target View (Window->Show View->Make
Targets). Right click on your project in Make Target View and do Add Make
Target. Uncheck "Use default" and specify your build command. After you
created a target you can run it double-clicking on it or clicking on build
target icon. This method lets you to create multiple commands in the view.

I am not aware of any plugin which would allow you to do it.

No, they are not. You could manage running ant launcher from Make Target
View (to feed error parsers) but I am not aware of any error parser which
would parse ant output and populate problems view.
