Build Identifier: I20110613-1736 Upper case file extension CPP is e.g. used in the recently open-source Doom3 source code ( https://github.com/TTimo/doom3.gpl ). CDT does not includes CPP files in its build. One could argue that, since CPP is not in the "Preferences->C/C++->File Types" list, this is ok. The real problem, however, is that one cannot add the CPP file extension there. Reason: "The Association between '*.CPP' and 'C++ Source File' already exits". Obviously, since CPP files are not included in the built, this is not true. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create empty c++ project 2. Create source file main.CPP 3. Hit the 'build' button yields: g++: fatal error: no input files
*** Bug 214018 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As reported, this is an issue with Eclipse Platform which does not handle case sensitive content types, i.e. bug 105022. But it is probably feasible to workaround that in managed build.
This bug is now fixed with the following change, including junit tests: https://git.eclipse.org/r/17314 The change consists of making the managed builder gracefully handle input with extensions of different case than their corresponding input types extensions. This way, the managed builder follows the case-insensitive behavior of the Platform content type feature, and the user can build files with .CPP extensions along with other files with .cpp extension in the same projects. 3rd party makefile generators might still contain bugs preventing this to work for them, but the fix supports both the internal builder and the external builder using the GnuMakefileGenerator.
This is still present in CDT 8.7.0.201506070905, running against Eclipse Mars 4.5.0.20150621-1200 running under Windows Simply creating a new C++ project and adding a .CPP file to it will reproduce the issue using the : that file will not be built, either with the Internal builder nor the Gnu Makefile builder.
