RE: [cdt-dev] Bug with post-build step?

["Monteleone, Robert" <robert.monteleone@xxxxxxxxx>]

David,

The error message below leads me to suspect that there may be a 
syntax problem with the content of the post build-step. Does it work
if you put a command into the post-build step that you are certain
is correct? If you are certain that the problem is not with the command
specified in the post-build step, then you should post a bugzilla entry 
and be sure to include the contents of the makefile created by the 
managed build system, so the post-build step support in the makefile
can be scrutinized.

It is important to note that the user is solely responsible for the contents of the
pre-build and post-build steps and that there is no attempt made to verify
the content of those commands by CDT. As such, if there are problems with the 
commands, then subsequent problems with make are expected.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Bug with post-build step?

Dear CDT Development Team,

with Eclipse 3.1.1 and CDT 3.0.1 (running on Windows XP Professional 
SP2) I was not able to get a post-build step to work. The pre-build step 
behaves nicely and performs as expected, but post-build continues to 
unleash following error (on a managed make C++ project):

[snippet]
'Finished building target: insanus3.exe'
' '
make --no-print-directory post-build
source/tests/title/title_screen.d:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.
make: *** [insanus3.exe] Error 2
make: Target `main-build' not remade because of errors.
Build complete for project insanus3
[/snippet]

Before you start ranting and raving that this list is no collecting pot 
for bug reports, please bear with me. I was searching the bugzilla 
database for filed entries that'd report the exact same error I have, 
but I failed to find one. I'm not even sure if it's a bug or if I'm 
doing something terribly wrong, and I thought the lesser of the evils 
were writing an inappropriate mail to the mailing list instead of 
polluting the bug database

It might be worthwile adding that what exactly was defined as post-build 
step doesn't matter, and it doesn't even matter if the string entered 
into the post-build step editing field resembles a valid command at all.
The executable however is built and runnable, and make doesn't return an 
error if the post-build step is removed.

Should I file a bug report to the bugzilla database, or am I merely 
mis-using the post-build feature?

Yours,
  David.
