How did you add referene to project? There is page in C/C++ General -
Path and Symbols
and it has tab References project - that should be used insead of top
level one

Subject: Link with static lib - Executable is not rebuilt

Hello,

I use Momentics and C/C++ project.
project 'L' genrates a static lib; libL.a Then I have project 'E' which
is an executable, 'E' links with libL.a.

The problem is that when I modify a CPP file inside 'L', and click on
Build for project 'E', the E executable is not recreated.
The libL.a is regenerated, because the project E references project L.
But Momenetics does not rebuild E executable.
Is it a bug?

I do link E with libL.a by adding 1 line in the Additional object Files
panel in project E properties. (see attachment) Is it the right way to
link with a static lib?

Thank you for your help,
Greg

Hi, Greg,

This is a problem in the Internal Builder's dependency management:

    https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=210248

To work around this, you can change your executable project to use the external builder, which generates makefiles 
having the correct dependency rules and invokes make on them:

  - in the Project Properties, navigate to the "C/C++ Build -> Toolchain Editor" page
  - change the "Current Builder" selection to "Gnu Make Builder"

Note also that you can generalize the library search path in your settings by using the ${ConfigName} variable in the 
path to ensure that your Executable project build uses the matching configuration of the library project.  e.g.,

   ${WorkspaceDirPath}/Libs/YAPI/Prj/QNX/${ConfigName}

and you can add static libraries by libname to the "Libraries" list as you would for shared libraries, instead of the 
Additional Object Files list.

HTH,

Christian
