Building from the command line cleans the Debug configuration and builds the Release Configuration

I'm using a batch script (based off this) to build my firmware from the command line. I want to a clean build every time.

This is the batch script:

:: Batch file to build an Eclipse project from the command line on Windows
:: Example for using MCUXpresso IDE
@echo off
:: path to GNU tools and compiler: arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe, ....
SET TOOLCHAIN_PATH=C:\nxp\MCUXpressoIDE_10.2.1_795\ide\tools\bin
:: path to MAKE
SET MAKE_PATH=C:\nxp\MCUXpressoIDE_10.2.1_795\ide\msys\bin
:: variable to the command line Eclipse IDE executable
SET IDE=C:\nxp\MCUXpressoIDE_10.2.1_795\ide\mcuxpressoidec.exe
:: variable for the main firmware path
SET HOST_FIRMWARE=.\Host_MCU\RTCP_Host

echo %PATH%|findstr /i /c:"%TOOLCHAIN_PATH:"=%">nul || set PATH=%PATH%;%TOOLCHAIN_PATH%;%MAKE_PATH%

ECHO Building main firmware
"%IDE%" -nosplash --launcher.suppressErrors -application org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild -import "%HOST_FIRMWARE%" -cleanBuild RTCP_Host/Release

The problem is this will clean the Debug configuration and build the Release version of the firmware, which is not what I expect at all. This is with MCUXpresso IDE v10.2.1 [Build 795]

This is the output from executing the above batch file. You can clearly see it cleans the Debug configuration and builds the Release configuration. How can I clean and build the Release configuration from the command line?

Re: Building from the command line cleans the Debug configuration and builds the Release Configuration

Hi Curtis,

my projects usually only have a 'Debug' build configuration, as for me a 'Debug' and 'Release' do not make much sense (Debug vs. Release? | MCU on Eclipse). I tried to reproduce what you see, and my results are a bit different. It seems that Eclipse CDT has some flaws (or I don't get it?) depending on if you call it with the project name only, or with the build target.

I have extended/documented what I see in Building Eclipse and MCUXpresso IDE Projects from the Command Line | MCU on Eclipse and as well updated the files on GitHub (mcuoneclipse/Examples/MCUXpresso/CmdLineBuild at master · ErichStyger/mcuoneclipse · GitHub). In a nutshell:

if you want to do a clean on a specific build target, you need to call it with -cleanBuil Project/Target first followed by a -build Project/Target.

I hope this helps,

Erich
