PDS "Build All" when it doesn't have to

Posted by Tim Kuehn on 07-Sep-2016 10:49

11.6.2 windows 7

I have a large project I'm working on.

I change some programs, get the changes to compile, press "Run".....and get hit with a full project build.

Why is it doing that and what do I need to do to stop it?

Hi Tim,


you might want to check ‘build before launching’ in Run/Debug->Launching on Eclipse preferences…

"Build Automatically" is turned off.

that is not the build settings on the projects, it’s a general option for launch configuration and you can find it in Eclipse’s preferences->Run/Debug->Launching

Thx!

What triggers the "if required" setting?

normally that means the build might only happen if required… so it depends how smart the builder is :)


if you have unsaved files when you want to launch the run configuration and want to save those files before (there is a prompt normally asking that), the builder will get the ‘changes’ so it can decide what need to be rebuilt… not sure how smart the OE builder got lately but given all include files floating around in a regular OE project and most probably the lack of full references for a reliable ‘impact analyse’ the builder just fall back to build everything :(
