Re: [ptp-user] Adding C/C++ Nature to a general synchronized project.
Christoph,

I'm not sure we can do much to help in this situation, since you're using the CDT conversion wizard which knows nothing about synchronized projects. I think the only thing we could do is provide a "convert synchronized project to C/C++ project" wizard. I think your case would definitely be "not recommended or supported". For completeness, we should probably provide such a wizard, but there are other higher priority issues that need to be addressed first.

Cheers,
Greg

The decoupling of synchronized projects from CDT also allows you convert a general project first into a synchronized project and then add the C/C++ nature. Not sure whether this should be discouraged, as it provides a bumpier road than adding the C/C++ nature first and then convert into a synchronized project.

 

First thing to note is that the "last page of the conversion wizard" is dropped due to the missing C/C++ nature. This is entirely correct, as there are no build configurations to link to.

 

If you now convert to a C/C++ project, this conversion wizard is completely unaware of the synchronized nature of the project. As I understand it, due to decoupling this is design, not a bug.

 

Of course you can manually add the remedies that provide the missing parts. This includes adding another build configuration through
"Build configurations -> Manage", changing its builder into "sync builder" in "Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Tool chain editor" and visit "Synchronize -> Manage" to actually link this build configuration to the sync configuration and do "Environment Management".

 

Particularly the "sync builder" setting took me longest to find. Please advise whether this should be documented somewhere ? Also I wouldn't send a new Eclipse user down that path.
