I have a simple eclipse CDT project with a very simple makefile. When I hit build-all, it complies the makefile, but also compiles some additional things which take 3-5 seconds more (and it is annoying).


Any ideas why this happens to me? This happens on Eclipse Indigo, on OSX Lion.
This file is compiled for “scanner discovery” (google this for more). This helps Eclipse figure out what your default include files / settings are, so they can be used with internal scanner.
