Description Kim Lux CLA 2005-11-25 00:20:18 EST 
I am working on a big standard make project.  I build it a couple ways depending on what I am testing.  I run ./configure each time with options.  I need a way to easily do this from within Eclipse.  Adding it to the build objects would be great.

Did you try making an external tool to call the configure script?
Comment 2 Kim Lux CLA 2005-11-25 12:11:24 EST 
Of course one could make a script and call it via the external tools.

It would actually be very nice if the make stuff was like the build/debug in that one could have multiple make objects, each with their own settings, including the configs.  I need to frequently configure/make/run and debug the same project multiple ways.  Right now I can do that via external configure scripts, but it would be much nicer if I could select a make object (sdcc-plain or sdcc-nohc08, etc.) and Eclipse took care of everything automatically, including the configure. 

Kdevelop does this sort of thing and it is a real nice feature. 

I still love Eclipse.

I set up configure as an external tool.  It worked the first time, but the second time I run it, it somehow invokes "make all". 

Running ./configure from the command line doesn't do this.

I DO NOT have Refresh Upon Completion enabled.  See image.
Comment 4 Kim Lux CLA 2005-11-25 14:20:00 EST 
See 118091.  I think make gets called a lot when it shouldn't.  It is getting called before a run too.

Really to do this right we need proper autotools support.

Comment 6 Doug Schaefer CLA 2007-06-01 11:57:14 EDT 
Or just create an External Tool that calls configure with the right arguments.
