Description Sven Schmidt 2004-02-20 01:17:08 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.1 (SuSE 9.0) 
OS:          Linux

kdev 3.0.1, IDEAL, simple c++ project

Trying to do a whole rebuild after changing the configuration, say from "default" to "debug" or "optimized" will cause problems.
A "make" will finish with error code 1 or 2.


Regards, Sven Schmidt

Yes, this is true. I'm not sure it can be dealt with easily though. The build system at the bottom (in this case) is automake, after all, and there is a clear limit to what it allows us to do.

I guess, one way of doing it would to disallow the choosing of 'default' if the project has been configured once to use something other than 'default', and vice versa. This would clearly be both messy and confusing however.

Teatime I tryed that. Seams there is no easy way of disabling default :(
Comment 3 Bernd Pol 2004-02-20 11:06:13 UTC 
Can't we at least produce a warning popup whenever the user selects default when debug and/or optimize is present?
So at least the unwaring or necomer won't loose work.

This is now covered in the FAQ, and a workaround is presented there.

This is "fixed" as far as we can fix it. If somebody disagree's I'm happy to re-open and close as wontfix.
