Recreating a CDT project  
Hi,

This may be something everyone is aware of, but I'd like to post it anyway.

I wanted to convert a project from an Internal builder project to the QNX makefile convention.  So I:

1.  Checked out the .cproject and .project files from souirce code control
2. Deleted the project from the IDE (leaving all the files intact, including .cproject and .project)
3.  Recreated the project (New->QNX C++ project)


Right clicking the project and going to properties confirmed that it was now a QNX makefile project.

When I built it however, it executed both the makefile build AND the internal builder.

Upon examining the .cproject file, the IDE had merged the old project settings with the new project setting instead of 
just overwritting them.

I think it is clever that the IDE has the capability to preserve the old and new at the same time, but it doesn't seem 
very useful?

Anyway, I don't know if this is desired behavior or not, but the bottom line is if you want to truly recreate your 
projects, removal from the IDE and recreating them is not sufficient.  After you remove the project from the IDE, you 
need to delete the .cproject and .project files before recreating them.

I always forget the other important details.

I'm using IDE 4.6

BTW: as a side note, I love the parallel build capability.  It's nice when you have a quad-core processor...

With QNX I could always get all cores working, but I find that under Windows it almost never happens, as if for some 
reason it`s IO bound.
