[cdt-dev] CDT - cross-compile, Cygwin support plans?

["Sam Robb" <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

Kudos for producing a great product.  I've been exploring
Eclipse + CDT for a couple of weeks now, and it's great.

I'm interested in using Eclipse as a C/C++ cross-development
environment under W2K + Cygwin.  From what I can see (the
current CDT source and the 14 May version of the R2.0 plan),
the 2.0 release doesn't plan on including support for cross-
compilers, remote debugging, or Cygwin (I know that while
Cygwin support isn't explicitly planned, CDT works well with
it.)

Given this, I'm estimating what it would take to add support
for cross-development to the (eventual) 2.0 CDT release.  As
far as I can tell, this would mean at lease modifying the project
natures to include information on the target system, and the
run/debug configurations to support connecting to a gdbserver
on a target system.

Has there been any CDT-related work to support a cross-dev
environment under Cygwin?  I'd rather not duplicate someone
else's efforts, if I can help it.  Even more so, I'd rather
not go about making changes that conflict with future plans
to support the same sort of features.

Thanks,
