eclipse .d files generation [message #253670]

Hello group,

Is there a plugin required for my eclipse C/C++, so that it generates .d
files.

I am stuck here.

Thanks.

..d files are depency files generated by gcc during a managed build run.
Normally you need not care about those files.

In the absence of .d files, my project does not compile at all from
eclipse and it compiles from command line.

Do I need a plug in for eclipse C/C++ version. I am at a loss.

The CDT builder supports basically two types of projects: Managed and
Makefile. The first one can generate makefiles for you and also triggers
the generation of .d files, while the latter just relies on your
existing makefiles.
It seems you have created your project as a Managed project, while it
should actually be a Makefile project.
You should recreate your project as a Makefile project.

Hello,

That means I will have to install CDT plugin, in its absence I just can
not create managed projects.

Right?

Thanks.

Yes, you need the CDT feature (which is a collection of plug-ins) to work on
C/C++ code. Otherwise, you might as well be using Notepad.
