RE: [cdt-dev] Build Model Source Code

["Evoy, Sean" <sevoy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Sam,
That's excellent news! I'm happy to contribute to the effort in any way I
can, so the sooner we can get the code in CVS, the better. Your is going to
kick-start this very important feature, so thanks very much to you and
TimeSys for this submission! As for the rest of us contributing to the
feature, I would think that we are going to have a lot of very interested
people willing to help.

Yes, and yes.  So now we need to work out the details of the submission.
I think that the core build framework code is in reasonably good shape
for submission, but the UI framework still needs work.

Issues that remain in the core are builder integration and definition of
the build script export mechanism.  There is some additional functionality
that has been ignored as well (per-file properties, for one) in the initial
model.

Issues that remain in the UI are the definition of what the generic "build
configuration" editor looks like, and the best way to associate contributed
UI elements for configuration with a particular toolchain.

Ask away!  Once the code's out there, the build model belongs to the CDT.
While I expect to contribute some effort there, the understanding here at
TimeSys is that once it's out, it becomes a group effort - and will be all
the better for it.
