Import Eclipse CDT project from Windows to Mac

Friday, August 17, 2012

I built a Eclipse CDT project on Windows. Then want to work on Mac, too.

But it's quite difficult to migrate to Mac.

Try to run, and "Launch failed.Binary not found."

1. Change the "Binary Parser"

In project properties > C/C++ build settings > Binary Parsers,

change from "PE Windows Parser" to "Mach-O Parser"

2. Setting a mac build configuration

Create a new C++ project

Go to windows project properties > C/C++ build > Manage Configurations

Create a new configuration by importing from existing project "the new project"

Activate the new Mac configuration.

OK. We can build the c++ project successfully on Mac.
