Description Brent Nicolle CLA 2004-05-21 15:08:29 EDT
CDT 2.0.0.20045180809

There are three messages produced by Scanner Config:
A. "Nonexistent include path [/some/big/imaginary/path]"
B. "Unable to determine working directory for"
C. "Ambiguous file path: ../test.cpp"

(Text may change; see bug 63471)

Some help is required to convey the reason and the impact
of these messages to the user.

Some suggested text:
A:  Something may be wrong with your build environment.
The include has been added to the Removed list and will not be used
to help the CDT parser's services.

B: It appears you used a relative include path or paths in a build command
whose working directory was difficult to deduce.  Such path or paths
may be missing from the list of Discovered Include Paths, which may
hinder the CDT parser's services.  You may wish to verify the Discovered
Include Paths manually.  You may resolve this message by letting make
produce the working directory, or by specifying files unambiguously
in the build command.

C: hopefully same as B (see bug 63471 EXPECTED #2)
Comment 1 Brent Nicolle CLA 2004-06-17 11:07:04 EDT
Vlad, you may need to provide some input to Dave Williams.

Presently (CDT 2.0.0.200406140300),
if I build CppTargetRTS I get about a thousand
"error" messages (with the icon /!\) of the form:
Ambiguous file path: ../src/RTAbortController/ct.cc

The error message and icon is probably appropriate, but
needs some explanation: where this message comes from and why,
what its impact is, how to fix it, how to ignore it.
Comment 2 Victor Lenet CLA 2004-08-05 11:25:34 EDT
Not critical. Moving to 2.1.
Comment 3 Doug Schaefer CLA 2007-06-06 15:32:50 EDT
I'm not even sure if this is relavant any more.
Comment 4 Andrew Gvozdev CLA 2009-07-09 17:23:16 EDT
No, they are replaced with equally mysterious ones such as "Duplicate Path Entries" or "Invalid project path".
