I am using the Eclipse CDT. I have configured the "external Builder" and I am generating the Makefiles automatically. Unfortunately, the generated Makefiles contain the absolute include path. I would like to use the generated Makefiles on other systems (where Eclipse is not installed) - is there a way to make Eclipse use relative paths into the Makefile?
I have configured my projects include directory under Settings -> Tool Settings -> GCC C Compiler -> Include Paths using ${workspace_log}.
I found this question asked long time ago. I'm trying to setup GitLab CI with Eclipse CDT, the easiest way suggested is to use the existing makefile the CDT generated. But, I was unable to easily config the Eclipse CDT to generate the makefile in my project with relative path easily, I can see I can get "include" settings changed, but there are other files referenced in the makefile using absolute path in the make files too. So I just used a PowerShell script to update all the absolute path into relative path. Check the PWD for the absolute path, then count the ../ to back out to the root of the project. Mine was 5 folder deep.
ls *.mk -rec | %{ $f=$_; (gc $f.PSPath) | %{ $_ -replace "c:/absolute path", "../../../../.." } | sc $f.PSPath }
