Integrating an eclipse/cdt-based build into continuous integration

Question

I have to reuse a major C++ project which is currently developed inside eclipse, using CDT, mingw and cdt managed build feature (no external makefiles or build environment). The

Answer 1

it looks like if I start eclipse from a cmd interactively,it forks, if started from a bat script, it doesn't. so putting the previous line in jenkins was enough to do the trick.

Notes:

• you need to add -data parameter to define location of your workbench (I clean build each time)
• as usual, blame windows and put quotes....
• --launcher.suppressErrors : in case something goes awoc, prevents eclipse from displaying a pop up (which is actually not displayed, thus blocks build)

Final (working !) command:

C:\prog\EclipseCdt\eclipse --launcher.suppressErrors -nosplash -data "%WORKSPACE%" -application org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild -import "%WORKSPACE%\project1" -import "%WORKSPACE%\project2" -import "%WORKSPACE%\project3" -build all 

EDIT

• added --launcher.suppressErrors
