If the compiled binary is running when attempting to compile, the compile fails because Eclipse/CDT doesn't have permission to overwrite the binary while it's in use. The user should be prompted to terminate the old process before starting a re-compile which will fail.
Steps to reproduce: 1) Compile Application 2) Launch 3) Make a change and re-compile with the application open. An error like this appears: c:/qt/2010.02.1/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot open output file debug\app.exe: Permission denied collect2: ld returned 1 exit status mingw32-make[1]: *** [debug\app.exe] Error 1 mingw32-make: *** [debug] Error 2 mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/workspace/svn/app'
Hi, I'm also having trouble with this 'terminated by system' issue. Recently i try to compile a simple console-based program. Click build, and no output in the console section, but there is only one line saying 'foo.exe terminated. ...(plus something else)' (except no clear error message of what caused the termination). After several times compiling/building without successfully identified the problem, so i tried running the binary manually (from outside the IDE). And guess what? The system produce error message dialog 'The run-time library bar_something.dll is missing ...'! I am using MinGW compiler. This error actually was settled by adding the linker flag options in MinGW linker options. But i'm still not satisfied with the console. I would like to ask if Eclipse CDT can provide option to execute the binary in separate console window (different thread, that use native console window of the OS). Running example can be found in ConText Editor (a free text editor), which allow options of executing source code - either to capture and view the execution status in built-in console window, OR allow instance of separate console window. So this would be convenient, in case user want to switch between the two execution methods. The 'missing dll' error might be easily identified in the first or second run, rather than left in the dark wandering what happened, without clear explanation. Thanks.
