Hi Andrew,
Work on the make targets is highly appreciated.
We can only use makefile projects because the makefiles are managed by other
tools. The projects are not small and running even an incremental compile on
the entire projects leads to long edit/debug cycles.
Normally you only have to run the make in
the folder that you edited files for, and sometimes compile an additional
folder. The make targets actually address this problem nicely (once https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=178765
is fixed;-(.
I wonder about another question: Should I
be required to manually define make targets for full, incremental, and clean
for the source folders at all? Isn’t that a standard setup when people write
their make files that they can be run per source folder if they know which
files were toched?
If so, running the incremental build for
the currently active configuration when a file is saved for its source folder would
be a nice feature, too (assuming that only the compile errors for the
recompiled folder would be updated).
Implicitly created make targets on source
folders for each configuration would save a lot of work to my users. Additionally,
they could be the required targets to be build when a source file is saved.
Just thinking. Jens.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Re: Make Target
View
Hi,
I've
modified Make Target View to allow to display and run such actions as Full
Build, Incremental Build, Clean Build for each configuration. If you work with
multiple configurations, it could be handy to manipulate these targets. For
one, it lets to run a build for a different configuration not switching to it.
See attached picture and a patch in bug 238919. Is
there any interest in such functionality?
As a next
step, I want to tie regular make targets from the view to a configuration. Any
idea is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hello,
There is
a number of bugs related to Standard Build and Make Target View in particular
in Bugzilla. We are using CDT for the most part with Stadard Build and
interested in some improvements in this area. I took a look at these bugs to
analyse what are the improvements people are interested in. I came up with
enhanced dialog, could you take a look and share your thoughts about it? The
most significant part is a relation of a Build Target to Configuration and
Project Builders. How does it fit to overall concept and does it connect well
to Managed Build?
I'd like
to know if there is *any* interest in that area, and would appreciate any
response. It does not look like there were any developments for quite a bit of
time but I am pretty sure that many use Standard Build at large.
Here is
the list of bugs:

Thanks,
