Hi Brad,
Nothing has changed in this area for Managed
Build for 2.1. These sound like good suggestions for 3.0.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Building
Configurations?
Two
questions about building configurations and potential support moving forward in
CDT:
1)
In some other leading IDEs, "Build All" means build all
configurations. Right now (at least in 2.0.2; haven't checked 2.1 yet)
build all builds all projects but only the active configuration in that
project.
Is
there any thoughts/opinions about making/adding the ability to build all
configurations in managed make and supporting it somehow in standard
make?
2)
Right now (again 2.0.2) dependent managed make projects are invoked and built
on the active configuration in those projects. That implies that if you
want a project and its dependent projects to build a release version, the user
must manually go into each project and set the active configuration to release
before doing a build of the including project. Any thoughts on how to
automatically build the "right" configuration instead of just the
active one, or maybe a way in managed make invocation of the dependent projects
specifying which configuration to build?
These
problems are related to dependent projects and support of "super"
projects that include the output from other projects (similar to how Update
Site projects include the output from feature projects).
Thanks,
Brad
