Pre-/Post-build commands not working with internal builder

Hi,

I have defined some pre- and post-build commands in LPCXpresso 7.9.0 and they are executed when using the external builder, but not when using the internal builder. I have observed this behaviour for all versions of LPCXpresso that I've used so far (which are, I think, all). Does anybody else have this problem - and knows how to fix it? Or is this somehow intended (although I can't see why it would be)?

Thanks for your help!

Hey 8473,

you are right, disabling parallel build indeed makes pre/post-build commands work with the internal builder - thank you.
However, I prefer using the internal builder due to the quicker build process, but disabling parallel build makes building slower than using the external builder with parallel build.. But at least now I know that it's a CDT problem.

Hello Skaara,

it might be the same issue as this.
At least you might check if disabling parallel build (I guess everyone uses that..) changes the behavior -- I wouldn't be surprised if it would be an eclipse (CDT) problem.

POst-build steps with the internal build work for me (e.g. using the standard project 'arm-none-eabi-size' command).

What are your commands, and what is not working? Perhaps post the output from your build log, showing what is going on.
