Unable to use another window for compiler output

Question

Closed this issue 8 years ago · 3 comments

When building, a split view is opened for the output.

It's possible to close this window, open a new window and set the buffer to the build output.

However when building again, the other window isn't used.
Instead a new split is created in the same window the source code is in.

It would be useful if any existing compiler output windows would be re-used instead of creating new splits.

I'm pretty sure that's configureable but that's just compiling with emacs, I don't think there's anything cmake-ide specific.

Okay, seems this is out of scope for cmake-ide, thanks for the reply.
