Compiling updated code [message #899559] Wed, 01 August 2012 12:35 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Can someone tell me how to create an update of the application you're working on without clicking on Run from the CDT environment?

After making minor changes to my code, I'd like to just build it, then run it from a different environment, not from the IDE. However, I can't find an option to create the execute program.

I used all the make options I can find from the IDE. The execute program is only updated after I run it from the IDE.

Thanks in advance for any input on this!

open the "make target" view and double-click the entry corresponding to the target you want to build. You could also use CTRL-B, but that will build all targets in all projects.

I wish there were a shortcut key for this like CTRL-F7 and F7 in MSVC

There is the shortcut F9 to rebuild the latest make target. Shift-F9 will open the build make target dialog for folder of the currently select file/editor.

Thanks, Chris. Sorry for taking so long in getting back, but I had problems finding the thread. I thought I had "CDT" and "Run" in the subject title. I had included those terms in my search for the thread. I found the thread when I got a new reply, but hadn't given up in looking for the thread.

Anyway, I must say that I can't duplicate the problem I was having. At present when I click on the "Make All" (the hammer icon) option, my execute program gets updated.

Before it wasn't. I had continued playing around with configurations after reading your message.

It didn't immediately resolve my problem, but I gained confident that it was possible after ready your reply.

Some of the changes I made was click configure the build option to autosave all files (Window -> Preference -> General -> Workspace -> Save automatically before build).

The save was happening when I clicked on Run, but not when I clicked on Build. So I believe that was my culprit.

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the input and short cut, Avel. I had played with this for a week trying to get my execute file before posting my message. Now as I mentioned to Chris, I can't duplicate the problem. I even tried to backtrack my steps and remove the changes I made. The target still gets created when I click on the Build icon.
