How to switch between debug and release Makefiles in Eclipse CDT?
For example I have 2 Makefiles: Makefile.Debug and Makefile.Release.
I can switch between them by setting different commands in:
C/C++ Build -> Builder Settings -> build command : make -f Makefile.Debug -j4 or make -f Makefile.Release -j4, but how can I switch between two makefiles in Eclipse GUI (Like in Visual Studio debug/release configurations)?
Solution
Create two Build configurations in Eclipse, each with a different make command. Then, you can click the down arrow near the hammer in Eclipse's top bar to switch configuration.
Detailed steps:
- Right click on Project, click Properties
- Left sidebar, click C/C++ Build
- Top right corner, "Manage Configurations..."
- Add
- Set "Name" and select "Existing configuration: xxxxx"
- Ok
- Ok
- Switch between the configurations setting what's required (in your case, under the C/C++ Build section, in the "Builder Settings" tab, select "External builder" type in the "Builder type" combo, then deselect "Use default build command" and enter yours in the "Build command" field
- Confirm with OK
- Use the hammer
