"Project" containing several libs and one executable [message #209017]

Originally posted by: andreas.ronnquist.meritkonsult.se

Having a "project" containing several cdt projects (one executable, and several libraries) - is it possible to configure CDT to link and execute the executable project when doing a "Run" in either of the libs?

As it is now - when building one of the libs I have to go to one of the files in the executable project, and there make a modification, and rebuild to get the executable to rebuild (link). When being in one of the libraries project and pressing Run (understandably) results in "No executable target" or similar message.

What I would like would be to be able to do a "Run" on one of the libraries that the project contains, and make that build the necessesary files of the libraries, PLUS linking the executable and running.

Is it possible?

I have "Project References" setup so that each project references the projects they require to build are referenced. Is there more to do here? - Reference the other way around also?

This is on Windows XP - MinGW - Eclipse 3.3.1.1, CDT 4.0.2.

Help would be much appreciated.

You can't run a library, you must run your executable which should trigger a
remake if you set your dependencies properly.
Either define separate projects for each library and executable or create a
custom makefile.
Setting "Run/Debug -> Launching -> Always launch previous application" might
be useful.
