Eclipse CDT Default Build Settings

Question

Is there a way to change the build settings that are used when creating a new project in the Eclipse CDT? I have to change some instrumentation settings every time I create a new project.

Answer 1

AFAIK now there is a way to do it beautifully. It would not be so nice to create an empty project with all the necessary settings and make a copy of this whenever a new project is needed.

Answer 2

Assembly settings are stored in the .cproject file and in the .settings directory at the top of the project. You can copy and paste them from one project to another, and then change the entire project name wherever it appears in the .cproject file.

Answer 3

I found this question only now when I asked Google the same thing :) A way to do this:

Window → Settings → C / C ++ (for example) → New CDT Creation Wizard → select the desired tool chain and make it preferred or not preferred.

Hope this is still relevant.
