Build ID: I20080617-2000 Steps To Reproduce: 1. On Windows, create a C++ project with all available build configurations. 2. Switch to unsupported configuration. (e.g. MacOSX) 3. Build More information: In the extension point we are using is org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions. The "toolChain" entry that enumerates the supported platforms. ("win32", "linux", "solaris", "hpux", "aix") However, when you try to build an unsupported platform, CDT will allow you to do so (and fail). We think that build configurations based on toolchains that don't support the current platform should be prevented from running. (e.g. Debug_with_MacOSX GCC should not be built on Windows platform). The information about which configuration/toolchain is valid can be taken from osList in toolChain entry. Perhaps an implementation could be that the UI will not allow you to set the "active build configuration" to be one of the unsupported ones(?) We are currently hitting this problem on CDT 4.0.3. But it seems the same on Ganymede. We hope the community will consider this enhancement request. Thanks!
