Eclipse project settings shared between platforms [message #247179] Tue, 29 January 2008 17:01 Go to next message

I have a project that I share with others through SVN and I'd like to
work on it on both Linux machines and, say, Windows XP (Cygwin). I've
set it up so that .project and .cproject files are both under version
control (through Subclipse plugin). Is there a reasonable strategy to
share these files as part of the source code while making sure things
work on both platforms?

Currently, I am working on an F90 project through Photran plugin. I've
checked out my repository under Windows, and activated both Linux and
Cygwin binary parsers in Fortran Build -> Settings. This is not a
managed make project (I have my own Makefile) and I have no problems
compiling the program, but it does not run (without outputting any
errors). Clicking the debug icon results in
Execution is suspended because of error.
You can't do that without a process to debug.
However, if I create a second Build configuration with Cygwin binary
parser settings it says: invalid project path - duplicate path entries.

Also, the Windows version of Eclipse does not allow me to create filters
(set extension names for files I don't want to see in the Navigator):
there is an empty white space that I cannot edit.

Overall, things are really confusing with Eclipse. Since I found Eclipse
on the web, I've been really excited since I knew this was THE code
development solution I've been looking for. But until now I've spent too
much time trying to get things working - particularly issues specific to
Photran (e.g. debugging) and under Cygwin. I couldn't even find a
comprehensive documentation for newcomers saying: do this and don't do
that; or even a list of errors (it would help if they were numbered!!!)
with explanations what they mean.

Your problems seem to be specific to Photran, which is not among the
most commonly-used Eclipse plugins. So the best bet would be to use the
Photran mailing list (http://www.eclipse.org/photran/mailinglists.php)
and/or ask questions on the CDT newsgroup, eclipse.tools.cdt

Hope this helps,
Eric
