Linker dependency isn't working [message #873196]

I have a workspace with multiple projects that are libraries and a single project that is an executable that links in the libraries.

My problem is that when I make a change to one of the files in a library and tell it to build, the library gets rebuilt but the executable does not Mad

. The only way that I've been able to work around this is to Clean the workspace and have it rebuild all of the libraries and the executable which takes about 30 seconds each time I make a change to a library Shocked

. It seems to me that the executable project should know when a library is updated and re-link it.

Is there some way around this? Do I have my executable project set up incorrectly?

Forgot to mention that I'm running Helios on Fedora 15 64-bit (if that matters).

The bug is fixed in CDT 8.0.2 (bugfix is from November 2011 and 8.0.2 came out in February this year).

Actually I have done several tests with CDT 8.0.2 and it seems like I have the same issue as you.
I have no clue in how to fix it.

It seems the bugfix was only applied to the master trunk. Can you try with the latest development release?

Even with the latest development release the issue remains.
