Hi,

I am working with an Eclipse based IDE.
My workspace is composed of 3 projects:
1. BSP
2. A SW library
3. A system project that uses the BSP and library and builds the final target

I noticed that the incremental build has strange behavior.
On first clean - it build all the sources.
On following build nothing is built - as expected.
On a consecutive build - all the files in the 3rd project are built again.
Then nothing is built and then again everything is rebuilt.

How can I debug it?
How can I tell what is causing this behavior - is it a problematic configuration? Is it something that the IDE supplier changed in Eclipse? Is it a bug in Eclipse?

Which log files should I include/investigate to understand the root cause?

Cheers.

We should not have to guess which language you are using and what it is that you are building in these projects. When you mention an "Eclipse-based IDE" perhaps you should consider that whomever has extended the base IDE might be the best folks to ask about it...

Hi,

I am building C based projects.

I have tried contacting the vendor that supplied the IDE - but so far didn't get any response or support. I was hoping the good and professional folks of this community might more knowledgeable and can direct on where to look for and maybe what to look for.

I saw the following log files are created:
myproj_Debug.build.ui.log
But I didn't see any clue to why the incremental build triggered a full build.

There is also IDE.log file in the workspace. I didn't see anything useful there as well.


Here's the content of .\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.cdt.ui\global-build.log



Nothing to build in platform 'trenz_wrapper'

17:36:11 **** Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project sw_c ****
make -j8 all
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
17:36:14 **** Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project myproj ****
make all
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
17:36:15 **** Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project myproj_system ****
make -j8 all


but on a consecutive build

Nothing to build in platform 'trenz_wrapper'

17:38:12 **** Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project sw_c ****
make -j8 all
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
17:38:15 **** Clean-only build of configuration Debug for project myproj****
make clean



Thanks.

It will be better to ask in the CDT forum:

http://www.eclipse.org/forums/eclipse.tools.cdt

I assume that what gets build will depend on how you've specified the dependencies in your make files, but that too is just a guess. It's likely that someone answering your question will need to know what is in your make files...
