[cdt-dev] Build issues

[Сергей Ковальчук <serjiokov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I would like to open a discussion around managed build behavior in CDT 9.10. 

What I currently see as strange behavior is the declaration of the project references at page "Project References" leads to a hierarchical build procedure where dependent projects will be built first and at the same time the settings page "Path and Symbols" exist to specify the dependency between build configurations.

If both options (the reference projects and the build configuration dependency) specified for the main project (in my case testHostProject_M)  the build procedure will invoke build command twice for the same projects. This behavior leads to misunderstanding of build procedure for end users and increases build time significantly. 

Could someone clarify is it designed or a side effect or any?

(pls see the screens)
