The Eclipse IDE seems to have a bug causing the compiler to look for project/source files in the wrong location in the file system.
Right after a fresh install of Wavecom Open AT Software Suite v2.11 (the bug is there in v2.10 too…), i follow the Hello World tutorial by the book. I chose to name my project hello_word and as for the project directory I chose c:\tests\open_at\hello_word.
When it is time to compile (“Launch the build by clicking the “Build (RTE)” item”), nothing happens and the console output shows only two lines:
Error launching builder (/c/tests/open_at/hello_world/LoadIde.bat -p wmmake -RTE )
(Exec error:Launching failed)
If you look carefully, the first line seems a little odd for a Windows command line. It seems that someone tried to compose a command line and did a poor job - the letter “c” is interpreted as a folder, and not the drive´s name…
To test my assumption, I tried to “fool” the IDE: created a folder in the root of my hard drive, and named it “c” - effectively, c:\c. Then I copied the whole bunch of files generated by the wizard inside this new folder. So, my project directory is now c:\c\tests\open_at\hello_word.
Guess what happens when I click “Build (RTE)” again? Success!
\c\tests\open_at\hello_world\LoadIde.bat -p wmmake -RTE

Did anyone else encounter this bug? Am I doing anything wrong here?
Thanks for any comment on this matter.
