You can update an existing Intel compiler project to use the current version of the compiler. When you update the compiler, Tools options and other settings are preserved.
To update an older project to use the current compiler, do the following:
Open the project.
Select Intel Tools > Update Project > Update to the Latest Intel(R) C++ Compiler.
The Project Update dialog box appears.
- Select or deselect the configurations to update using the checkbox at the beginning of each row. Use Select All or Deselect All to select or deselect all configurations.
- By default, CDT saves the original configuration after the update. To disable this behavior, uncheck the Keep checkbox.
- Rename the new configuration by clicking it in the New Intel Configuration column. The Overwrite field indicates whether a configuration with that same name already exists and whether the existing configuration will be overwritten by the update. If the named configuration does not exist, the field displays
. If the named configuration exists, the field displays a checkmark
. Unchecking this box will result in a message warning you of any conflict.
- You can get brief tips by placing your cursor on the column headers.
- If you have multiple versions of Intel Compiler installed, click Next to select the compiler for use with the new configuration. By default, the most recent Intel compiler is used.
Click Finish. A confirmation box indicates success.
The .cproject file is a hidden file used to keep project information. When you update a project, the original .cproject file is backed up and a log file is created in your Eclipse project directory.
