Hi Judy,
I was wondering why we weren't using the PDE to make setting
up the CDT build easier. Here's what I do to get things
ready:
1) In the Preferences window->Plug-In
Development->Target Platform, select all plug-ins. This step really
only has to be done once when you first run an Eclipse
installation.
2) From dev.eclipse.org:/home/tools, Check Out As Project
org.eclipse.cdt* although you probably want to leave out cdt.old since it is
big and isn't used anymore.
3) In the Java perspective, select the above projects and do
an Update Classpath. Now, I'm not sure if this really needs to be done
all of the time. When I do this, most of the .classpath and .project
files get updated. If they were committed, you might not need to do this
step at all.
And that's it. Everything compiles. From there,
you can do the CDT build steps to create the distribution zips. You can
also run/debug the CDT in a "Run-Time Workbench".
I may be missing something but if the community allows me, I
would like commit the changes to the .classpath and .project files to make
this work. Also, I'd like to fix the missing project dependency between
debug.core and core.
Thanks,
- Doug

the CDT
Hi folks,
This is a quick list of steps to get you started with the
CDT.
I'll be posting this to the website and to the
Wiki Web within the week.
Note: Package names are valid as of today 27 Sept 2002. There
will obviously
be more added in the future.

1)
Start Eclipse
2)
Open the Browse CVS Repository
Perspective
3)
Check out the following CDT
specific projects from the Eclipse CVS repo:
/home/tools
Anonymous
no password required
org.eclipse.cdt
org.eclipse.cdt.core
org.eclipse.cdt.core.linux
org.eclipse.cdt.core.qnx
org.eclipse.cdt.core.solaris
org.eclipse.cdt.core.win32
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.ui
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.ui
org.eclipse.cdt.launch
org.eclipse.cdt.ui
org.eclipse.cdt-feature
Optional:
the
"org.eclipse.cdt.*.tests" packages can also be checked out.
In which case you will also need to import the org.junit package (and
others
?) in the next step.
Additional instructions regarding testing will be coming soon.
4)
Import > External Plugins &
Fragments > Plugins from the Runtime Workbench >
5)
Select the following from the
list
org.apache.lucene
org.apache.xerces
org.eclipse.ant.core
org.eclipse.compare
org.eclipse.core.boot
org.eclipse.core.resources
org.eclipse.core.runtime
org.eclipse.debug.core
org.eclipse.debug.ui
org.eclipse.help
org.eclipse.platform
org.eclipse.search
org.eclipse.swt
org.eclipse.swt.win32 (or other platform specific project,
will be added
through the next step)
org.eclipse.ui
org.eclipse.update.core
6)
Then press "Add Required Plugins"
button.
This will add any other plugins that are
required by the selected ones
e.g. platform
specific such as org.eclipse.swt.win32
To Build the CDT from within Eclipse
1)
Browse to the org.eclipse.cdt
package directory
2)
Edit the "about.mappings"
file to indicate the build number
#
e.g. "0=<year><month><date>"
0=20020926
3)
Browse to the
org.eclipse.cdt-feature package directory
4)
Open the "feature.xml" file
5)
Select the "Package" button from
the Overview Page
6)
From the dialog that is presented
select the following IN ORDER. Notice the
numbers that
appear beside the selected items.
1) clean
2) init
3) build.jars
4) build.update.jar
5) build.zips
6)
zip.distribution
7) build.sources
8) zip.sources
Note items 7 & 8 are optional and only if you want to
package the sources.
They also take a fairly large
component of time.
When the build is complete there will be a binary
distribution zip file and (optionally) a sources zip
file
e.g.
org.eclipse.cdt_20020926_1.0.0.bin.dist.zip ... zipped features
and plugins
org.eclipse.cdt_20020926_1.0.0.src.zip
... zipped sources
