Description Frau Hofer CLA 2004-07-01 11:57:57 EDT
Hi,

I am using CDT 2.0 Eclipse 3.0 stable release on NT / XP on a PC. 
Other Plugins I use are subclipse and FTP/WebDav plugin.
Since I do not know much about the CDR internals, I am also not sure wether I 
assigned this report to the right component.

My Problem: In a CDT "standard make project", when I want to build a project, 
it does not work. 
My assumed reason: On the project properties panel "C/C++ make project", I 
cannot register any settings.
What i did:
- When to the panel (that was empty), pressed "restore defaults"
-When I press "Apply", a window pops up (to short to be read)
- Pressed OK 
- The next time I enter: No values in this panel
- When I enter another panel, I get the command "The current displayed page 
contains invalid values"
--> No settings for make, no make at all 

I tried this several times, even without the plugins mentioned above. Same 
result.

Maybe this issue is also related to bug 45029 and 45404.

I need the standard build feature somehow urgently. Of course I could link make 
via "External Tools", but this spoils some advantages you expect from an IDE. 
If you have any idea when this bug will be fixed, this would be appreciated

Thanx a lot in advance
 Best wishes

Björn Decker

This is also happening on Linux with the GTK+ version of 2.0M9.
Comment 2 Daniel Thompson CLA 2004-07-04 07:55:20 EDT
This is a duplicate of bug 67724 but the assessment, critical, is more accurate
and the description is much clearer.
Comment 3 Daniel Thompson CLA 2004-07-04 11:12:39 EDT
I experienced this problem. It appears to be fixed in the overnight builds (I
used I200406280300 for Linux GTK).

Can the submitter confirm this?

Hello,

coudl you send me the URL. Unfortunately, I could not find it on the eclipse 
CDT HP.

TIA!

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/updates/builds/2.0/

For reference the path from the CDT page is follow the 'Download Site' link and
look for the heading 'CDT 2.0 Development Stream'
Comment 6 Frau Hofer CLA 2004-07-05 03:45:02 EDT
Yes, I could have figured this out by myself! 
Sorry, it's monday ;-). 

Here is the link - I will test it today

Comment 7 Frau Hofer CLA 2004-07-05 04:47:46 EDT
Hi, 

I just tested it with the nightly build - unfortunately a complete failure: 

a) For my currently existing project, I could not enter any panel in the 
project properties. Here are is Error Message:
Unable to create the selected property page.
REason: Plug-in org.eclipse.cdt.make,ui was unable to load class
org.eclipse.cdt.internal.ui.dialogs.cpaths.CPathPropertyPage
b) I could not even create a new project (C Standard Make), Error Message: 
The selected wizard could not be started
Reason: Plug-In org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui was unable to load Class
org.elcipse.cdt.make.ui.wizards.NewMakeCProjectWizard
Comment 8 Daniel Thompson CLA 2004-07-05 06:42:23 EDT
This is a (seperate) upgrade bug (which I admit I have not had the time to
file). Try a fresh workspace (or failing that a freshly unziped eclipse).
Comment 9 Frau Hofer CLA 2004-07-05 10:42:24 EDT
Hello, 

I directly tried the second suggestion: a unzipped, fresh eclipse (3.0), 
installed the nightly build via the update manager.
However, it led to the same, negative result, Sorry:
I was not able to create a project (Error mesage was the same than in my last 
posting) 

Best wishes
Björn 

PS: Despite the issue is not solved yet, thanks A LOT for your support. This 
really keeps me hanging on trying Eclipse with CDT!
Comment 10 David Daoust CLA 2004-07-07 08:14:38 EDT
You seem to be caught by a couple of independent problems.

1. The "save" problem, was in CDT M9 (likely with any eclipse build after M9).  
It has definitely been fixed.

2. The nightly builds do not work with the update manager (something is wrong 
with the nightly build process).  The zip files are good.

3. your workspace seems to have issues -- the upgrade to the new builds is not 
guarenteed when there are errors in the original.

I would suggest that you take the CDT 2.0 GA release (which will work from the 
update site) and install in a clean Eclipse 3.0 install.  Then import your 
projects into a new workspace.   I will mark this defect as resolved (since the 
original problem is fixed post CDT M9).  If you still have problems with the 
latest builds, please reopen this defect.

Comment 12 Frau Hofer CLA 2004-07-12 07:40:17 EDT
Hello, 

I tested it with the current release and the CDT 2.0 GA - It work's as follows
- Eclipse 3.0 
- CDT 2.0 Ga (as of June 30) 
- unpack it in a fresh workspace  

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help. 

Best wishes
