How To Save Build Configuration [message #1791391]

Hello All,

I am new to the platform.

I created a new build configuration with some pre-defined new symbols. I was wondering how can I save these build configuration.

Whenever I close eclipse and open again, the self defined build config is gone and only the default (debug and release) are there...

Thank you

I tried this with a test HelloWorld project using Oxygen and it worked.
The Build Configuration was made using the Manage Configurations dialog.
Obtained by either the gear icon on the toolbar or
one of the places in the Project Properties such as
Project -- > Properties --> C/C++ General --> Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc. --> Manage Configurations ...
They are saved when closing Eclipse.

You may have encountered a bug.
Can you describe (show is better) how you made the new configuration
and what type of project you have.

Also your:
OS,
Eclipse version,
CDT version

Thank you,

Yes, that's exactly where I went for the configuration:

Project-> Properties->C/C++ General-> Paths and Symbols ->Manage Configureations.

After I am done, I just pushed apply and ok... The configurations are on the list when I build. But when I close the program and restart again, then it is gone...

I use Tasking and the eclipse IDE is included in the package. I tried to look for the Eclipse version but see none. I may need to contact them to get the version number.

OS is Win 7 64bit.
Project is very big...and it's a company project so I cannot show here.

Eclipse version often show up on the startup splash screen.
You can also do Help --> About Eclipse
which should give the version.

You can click on the icons for plugins to get information on them.

You might want to submit a bug report at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/
You'll need to register if you haven't done so.
If it is an issue, it's likely a CDT one so, after login, browse and go to the CDT section.

If what you have is a third party plugin you should contact the authors first.

Make sure that the file .cproject is not write protected (usual fault when ClearCase is used).

I think you should reinstall eclipse once again and try.
