Can I copy Debug Build Config to Release Build Config?

(Ah...paths.....my favorite nemesis....)

I have many hand-entered include paths in my ccs4 debug build configuration. Is there an easy way to copy these over to my release build config without having to re-enter them all by hand?

Thx,

MikeH

    You can make a copy of the Debug configuration (name it whatever you choose), and copy its setting over to that configuration.

    If you really want this new configuration to be named Release, you can rename the existing default Release configuration, and name the copied version as Release.

    Go to Project Properties->C/C++ Build, click on Manage next to Configurations. Here you can create a new configuration and tell it to copy settings from an existing configuration such as Debug. I tried this and the compiler include paths are carried over to the new configuration.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks so much! You have just saved me *hours* of debug time!

    Aarti,

    What is the name of the project debug config file and where can I find it? I would like to copy configs from a different project.

    Thx,

    The project options can be found in the .cdtbuild file which is created within the project folder. This file stores information on all build configurations for that project. We generally recommand against editing or copying these project files manually, but if you are just looking to derive specific options like include paths etc., you can get the list of them from the .cdtbuild file and then add them to your new project through the GUI.
