Description Daniel Calcoen CLA 2011-09-09 09:17:29 EDT
The projects properties dialog has under C/C++ build
the feature logging

filling a correct filename in "log file location" and enabling build logging works great!

but...
Could this "log file location" be enhanced to support variables?

(variables from workspace or environment, like Build directory, build location of C/C++ build dialog)


We are a team working in the same project using external building (via makefiles and sh scripts).
The source files are located outside the eclipse workspace (virtual folders and linked files, versioned by egit). So the multiprojects "root" can be placed anywhere and updating our eclipse variable for the project path is enough. For the compiler files is the same.
But the log file generated by the console, that we parse with our scripts has a  "absolute fixed" path as the dialog does not support "variables"
