Setting dynamically build environment [message #901730]

Hi all,

My makefile needs some environment variables which are defined by bash script:

. set_variables.sh  //script setting variables
make //makefile using variables setting above

I try to reproduce this process on Eclipse CDT using external tools to execute "set_variables.sh" before build in project build properties. But each time, i lose variables setting in script when make is carried out. I know we can set build environment variable statically but i can't use it.

So, is there a way to set dynamically build environment?

External tools have their own "universe" of environment variables and do not share it with the build command. You can change your build command to

. set_variables.sh && make

Unfortunately, nothing occurs. The set_variable.sh is not executed.
