Hey all,

have I seen this correct, that the variable 'container_loc' of the build
command is not usable any more?

I have seen this solution
<http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg14567.html> with
${container_loc} is ${selected_resource_loc}/..

but this does not work for me. Perhaps because it is on Linux and a path
like
/home/thundernail/workspace/projectA/path/to/source/source.c pp/.. is not
valid.

Is there any solution to set the workdirectory of the make command to the
directory of the active file?

thanks
Thundernail

The problem with these variables is that the build plugin is independent
of UI plugins and so it cannot expand UI variables. The best you can do is
to use build variables like ${ProjDirPath}.

If you use "Build Project" command it is always executed in project build
directory. As an alternative you could try Make Target view. If you create
its target in a subfolder the working directory will be that subfolder.
This holds true for not managed build only.

The build plugin has the ${selected_resource_loc} variable, so it should
be possible to give the path of the directory.

I don't linke the idea to set up the Make Targets for around 100
directorys ;-)

My solution at the moment is a Makefile at the protject root, that
forwards to the Makefile in the directory of the ressource.

My build command:
make RESOURCE_LOC=${selected_resource_loc}

The Makefile in the project root directory:
CONTAINER_LOC:=$(shell dirname "${RESOURCE_LOC}")

all:
@$(MAKE) -C ${CONTAINER_LOC}/ all;
