Re: [cdt-dev] .project file changes when changing active config

["Schaefer, Doug" <Doug.Schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I always reply too soon :). I noticed it change when I changed the build command from make to something else. That triggers the change since the build command is in the .project file so it kind-a makes sense.

But that brings up my real question, why is this information in the .project file to begin with since it already is in the .cproject file. This could be a historical thing since I remember it getting added back in the early managed build days. I just don't remember whether it achieved the desired affect (deadlock avoidance maybe?).
