Description Coline Baclet CLA 2014-06-26 01:35:38 EDT
I encounter some C++ build issues after updating my Eclipse Juno SR1 from CDT 8.1.1 to CDT 8.1.2.

I think issues come from my specific Eclipse configuration:
- Source files and eclipse project files (.project & .cproject) are located in folder (C:\myProject for example)
- Output files are generated in a build directory located in my Eclipse Workspace (C:\workspace\myProject\Release (or Debug)) 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a basic C++ HelloWorld project (called "myproject") using MinGW and the GNU Make Builder
2. Move this project outside the Eclipse workspace (C:\myProject for example)
3. Go back to the Eclipse workspace and import the Project previously created (do not copy it to the workspace)
3. Create a linked folder named "Release" pointing to the following location: 
	WORKSPACE_LOC\myproject\Release (note: WORKSPACE_LOC value is "C:\workspace")
4. Build the project: everything works well without error
5. Now, import the project in the same version of Eclipse (Juno SR1) but with a CDT version 8.1.2
6. Build the project: Makefiles are well generated in the "Release" folder but the builder prints the following error message "Cannot run program "make": The directory name is invalid"

I don't understand why a project is built without any error with CDT 8.1.1 but cannot be built with CDT 8.1.2.
