I've just updated Autotools to 2.0 and now they do not work.

The Autotools project category and all information in the project configuration dialog is gone.

I'm running Eclipse 3.5.1 with CDT 6.0 on Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Are you using an old Autotools project or are you trying to create a new one?

The new Autotools project is now created via the C/C++ C Project and C++ Project wizards respectively. There is no longer a separate GNU Autotools Project wizard. There is a GNU Autotools category of project there now. See the Eclipse help section for details on this. As well, the configuration settings dialog is now found under Autotools in the Properties folder. It is no longer in the C/C++ Build -> Tool Settings tab. This is described in the help documentation as well as the wiki page: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/Autotools/Rewrit e_Changes_Guide

For old projects, there is a compatibility plugin and things should work as they did before. If this isn't the case, please open a Bugzilla bug against the Autotools component and provide further details.

I've read the documentation and I see how things should work.

Unfortunately I don't see the Autotools project type in the C Project or C++ Project wizards. The only thing I see is under Makefile project -> Empty project there is the GNU Autotools Toolchain.

Also under Project -> Properties there is no Autotools page for setting configure and autogen.sh parameters.

This is for a new project - just trying to test the installation.

Is there anyway to check my installation? I've tried uninstalling, restarting Eclipse and reinstalling the Autotools. My next solution will be to completely reinstall Eclipse.

Sorry for the delay, but I left for vacation on the Friday morning you posted your last response. Did you get things working?

If not, I would suggest a few things to try.

1. Try updating to CDT 6.0.1 or 6.0.2
2. Try using -clean -consoleLog options when you restart Eclipse
3. Check the log to see if any plugins did not load

Failing all of this, please open a bug and we will look into this in more detail.

You can look at the installed plugins under "What is currently installed".

I did not see your reply until just now. I don't know how I wasn't notified.

Anyway, I followed your suggestions and from the console log there is some output regarding an org.eclipse.linuxtools plugin that could be the problem. I'm not sure how to interpret the data but I don't want to paste the log here. Is there a better way to have you look at the log file?

It is not problem to paste the pertinent details here, but if you would prefer, you can open a bug against Technology->Linuxtools->Autotools and we can correspond there regarding what is going on with your upgrade.

OK, well here is the log data that I think is relevant:

The only thing of note in the log is the SystemTap plugin UI issues. It might be possible this is causing UI issues during loading.

Try renaming your ~/.eclipse file. There is plugin information stored in the .metadata and sometimes upgrades cause problems as data is cached and there are invalid references that are still around.

Failing this, you can try uninstalling the SystemTap plugins to see if that helps.

If that doesn't solve the issue, there may be dependencies for the Autotools plugins that are not being loaded, though I would have expected to see some messages in your log file.

How did you do your upgrade - via the Eclipse update site or did you use an rpm?

If you upgraded via the update site, go to Help->About Eclipse Platform->Installation Details->Plugins you can verify what, if any, Autotools plugins are recognized and loaded. If they aren't noted there and you used an update site, check to see if the plugins actually exist in your eclipse/plugins directory. If they are there, you'll have to look at the MANIFEST.MF files for the plugin dependencies and check to see if the dependencies are recognized by Eclipse. If missing, you have to repeat the process to find the lowest level culprit.
