Hello;

After talking about alternatives for the Visual express 2008
build environment for making blender, i browsed a bit and
after some digging i found a tutorial for setting up eclipse
and MingW. So i decided to give that a try and actually it
was very easy to get this working with a simple hello world
example.

So, now i want to add Blender into that system. But that
is no longer easy going ;-( However maybe i just need a
few bitsto get it to work. Here is what i did so far:

I used CMake  to create the build directories using

    "Eclipse CDT4 - MingW makefiles"

Then i imported that generated folder to eclipse as

    "existing code as makefile project"

Until here no errors and no warnings.

But now i am somewhat stuck about the building step.
In the Visual express environment i could choose between
"Debug", "Release", etc.. but CMake for eclipse only creates:

    CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE = "Release"

And then i also do not know exactly how to build even that.
I tried with

    Project -> Build all

But then i get 4 very similar errors:

Errors running builder 'CDT Builder' on project 'blender-mingw'.
Internal error building project blender-mingw configuration Default
Generated resource conflict:
two resources of the same name:
/blender-mingw/Default/[Targets]/[lib] bf_dna_blenlib/Source 
Files/listbase.o
generated by different tools
tool1: GCC C Compiler
tool2: GCC C Compiler

All errors mention listbase.o which actually does not exist in the 
blender-mingw folder.

So how to proceed ?
Thanks for any hint!

cheers,
Gaia
