Description PorcelainMouse CLA 2010-10-08 00:06:28 EDT
Build Identifier: M20100211-1343

I have a Fortran (Photran) Makefile project that I've imported from git.  The source includes a working Makefile and GNU Make works fine; I just wanted to try to use Eclipse to do some more development.  

I created a few targets and they were building fine using the existing Makefile.  Then I created a debug configuration for one target and got that to work a few times.  I think I stopped the debug or it ran to completion, and now I can't build anything.  I can't build any of the targets from the make targets tab.  The hammer button doesn't do anything, either.

When I try any build command, I see the lower window bar flash something so quickly I can't see what it is.  I think it's the "progress" activity notification.  But their are no errors on the command line terminal where I launched Eclipse (with -consolelog) and the Console tab is completely empty.  No errors, completely silent fail.

I don't understand.  make still works as expected.  And, when I use it to build a target, I can debug it with Eclipse.

How do I fix this?

This isn't the first time this has happened, but I just recreated the projects because I was just playing around with Eclipse.  But, now I have a real project that was working and I don't want to start over (again).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Problem wasn't happening at first.
2.  ???
3.  Now, it refuses to build anything.

Just to be clear, the git repo doesn't include any Eclipse project data.  It's just the source with a Makefile.  I'm trying to create an Eclipse project around this code so I can use Eclipse to work on it.
