cdt project properties [message #212485]

I'm wondering if there is a way to edit project properties for more than 1
CDT project. Example: I have the same cdt environment variable defined in
multiple cdt projects and they have the same value. When I want to change
the value of the variable do I need to visit each project properties?

Thanks, Karen

CDT environment variables can be set and changed globally from
Window->Preferences->C/C++->Environment page.

Hi Karen,

If you find a good way of doing this, I'd be really interested to hear.

So far, if I want the same values in multiple project, I need to shut
down eclipse then cut-n-paste the relevant lines from the .cproject
files directly. Some Gnome apps are a special pain for this, with 20+
source directories, 20+ libraries to include, etc.

Not especially hard, but just time consuming and kinda stress inducing.
Needs a lot of care to avoid getting things a little bit wrong and
breaking the projects. ;>

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

I created an environment variable for a CDT project. But it is not
visible in the preferences (Window->Preferences->C/C++->Environment page).
Is it suppose to be there?

Thanks, Karen

There are two places you can create environment variables for CDT projects.

The first is on the Preference page (Window->Preferences->C/C++->Environment
page) - if you create the variables here, they are global to all projects in
the workspace.
The second is on a specific project's Properties page (Properties->C/C++
Build->Environment) - if you create the variable here, it is only accessible
to that project (saved in a .settings file under the project)

If you create an environment variable on the preference page, you can use it
with any project (and it also shows up on all individual projects properties
pages). As you are looking to share variables, you should make sure you
create them in the preference page. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Tracy
