I have a legacy, in-house tool that creates an Eclipse CDT project out of all the C files that I use to run Simulink simulations. I use the eclipse project as front end to GDB (in Windows using Cygwin) to debug by simulation C code. The tool uses an unchanging .cproject file to make the projects.
I am now running my simulations on Unix so I'm trying to port the tool to create an Eclipse project in Unix. I am stuck on how to turn my Windows .cproject file into a Unix .cproject file. For example in Unix Eclipse project build is giving me errors like below:
Managed Build system manifest file error: Option cdt.managedbuild.option.gnu.cross.path.2110017774
uses a null category that is invalid in its context. The option was ignored.
I am guessing that this is being caused by the .cproject file since it is the only file in the tool that has cdt.managedbuild in it.
<option id="cdt.managedbuild.option.gnu.cross.path.2110017774"
superClass="cdt.managedbuild.option.gnu.cross.path" value="MinGWPath" valueType="string"/>
I don't even understand what this file is doing or how it was generated in the first place. I did not create the tool and I am an Eclipse novice. Are there any resources that I could use to understand how to create, modify, and interpret a .cproject file?
