  • 0

I am debugging a large Makefile-based C project which takes 15 seconds to run “make” even if no changes to the sources are done. That means that whenever I relaunch the program, I need to wait for 15 seconds before I can even start debugging.

The project was imported through “Import as existing project with Makefile” and I am using gdb for debugger.

I want that when I relaunch, it runs the executable which was build last. How to disable this extra step of building (i.e. running “make”) before each launch/debug?

(In the rare case of actually changing the source, I am willing to do a manual build / make)

    On the main tab of the debug configuration there is a radio button “Disable auto build”
