Hi All,

I am using eclipse and have a Makefile project. (It builds fine ..)

I would like to access the Eclipse variable that shows what the current 
configuration is (i.e Release, Debug etc), so that I can change the 
optimization flags in my Makefile...

i.e in my Makefile I want to do:
1
-----------------------------------------------

2
ifdef (Release,$VariableName)

3
4
 some stuff ..

5
6
else

7
8
ifdef (Debug, $VariableName)

9
10
 some other stuff

11
endif

12
------------------------------------------------


I need to know what the variable name is ..

Thanks,
Bernie

I have never tested this myself: it's possible to read environment 
variables from make and Eclipse offers the option to set environment 
variables. Maybe you can also use special make targets in Eclipse and 
include additional target-rules for them.

Yes, I could specify special make targets, but that's really not what I 
want to do ..

I just need to know how to access the variables in eclipse. You say you 
havn't tested this, but do you know how to access these variables in 
make?

thanks,
B

EDIT: I notice in eclipse that the enviroment variable that holds the 
current build configuraion is called "ConfigName", however accessing 
that name with the syntax "ifdef (Release,$Configname)" in the makefile, 
does not seem to work.

I found out how to fix this ..

Under Eclipse properties for the project goto C/C++ Build->Environment 
and add the system variable ConfigName so that it is exported .... it is 
then visible to the make program ... works great.

Hi..
Please help..In eclipse..

if the code is :

#ifdef ABC

code();

#endif


I want to access the function code() using Open Declaration. How can I 
do this without defining ABC in source code..


Thanks in advance..

Simple.

Project/Properties/C/c++ General/Paths and Symbols/Symbols
then "Add".

In most cases you want to tick "Add to all configurations"
and possibly also "Add to all languages"
Else RTFM.
