Re: [cdt-dev] Build simple C project using linux tools

[Sean Evoy <sevoy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ramesh,
If you use the standard make system
and provide your own makefile, you can certainly use any tools you want
during the build. In the next release of the managed build system, we will
be providing a way to edit the tool command through the UI.

Subject	[cdt-dev] Build simple C project using linux tools

Hi,
 
I am new to this group. Nice to meeting you
all through this group.
This is my basic question on build C project.
Can we use linux tools 'gcc','as', 'ld' for compilation, assembling and
linking respecitvely instead of using integrated 'gcc'.
 
Thanks
-Ramesh

Recommendation:      Build can be adopted.

Results: (Only new defects are shown in the table)

Test	Windows 1.2.1M1a	Linux 1.2.1M1a
0	No JUnit testing results to report	No JUnit testing results to report
1	Pass	Pass
2	Pass	Pass
3	Pass	Pass
4	Pass	Pass
5	Pass	Pass
6	Pass	Pass
7	Pass	Pass
8	Pass	Pass
9	Pass	Pass

Bugs: The following minor bug was discovered while executing the sanity
tests, it does not affect the stability/functionality of this build at
all... 
        49639 - Debug executable icon associated with
release executable (Linux only)


Sanity testing assumes your environment is set-up with:
     a. JDK 1.3.1_09 on your path ("java -version")
     b. g++, nm, c++filt is on your path
     c. "gdb -version" = 5.2.1 or 5.3
     d. You run Eclipse 2.1.2 (with or without the -data argument)
     e. Use Install/Update Perspective to get to http://update.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/updates/builds/1.2.1M1a

Sanity Tests: 
0.  JUnit Tests
1.  You can create new projects.
     a. Create a new (Standard Make) C++ project
     b. Create a new (Managed Build) C++ project
2.  You can import existing projects.
     a. Import an existing C++ project (eg. HelloWorld) from
somewhere on disk. 
3.  You can build a Standard Make project.
     a. Ensure that a valid Makefile exists in the project.
     b. Project > Build initiates a build.
4.  You can build a Managed Make project.
     a. Ensure that the Managed C++ Make project was created
to produce (depending on your host) a Cygwin/Linux/Solaris Executable.
     b. Disable Window > Preferences > Workbench > Perform
build automatically 
     c. Use New Class Wizard for a class "Foo" (accept
defaults) to create a Foo.cpp and Foo.h file.
     d. In "Foo.cpp", type "main" then Ctrl-Space
to add a template for main().  (Add a trailing newline.)
     e. Project > Rebuild creates the Makefile and builds
an executable. 
5.  Files are parsed for language highlighting, and for Outline View.
     a. Open a CPP file in a C++ project and verify language
and outline view. 
6.  You can edit and save C/C++ files.
     a. Enable Window > Preferences > Workbench > Perform
build automatically 
     b. Open a CPP file, modify something, and save.
     c. Saving the file causes an automatic build.
7.  You can use the C/C++ Search mechanism.
     a. Enable indexer for project.
     b. From the Search dialog, find all Class Declarations named
"*" in Workspace.
8.  You can create and run debug configurations.
     a. Make sure you have built (with -g option) a simple executable.
     b. Create a new Debug configuration (using GDB/Cygwin Debugger)
     c. Set "Break at start of main()".
     d. Run the configuration.
     e. Step over a statement, or run to a break-point.
     f. Run to completion.
9. You can close the session.
     a. If started from the command-line (Unix/Linux), no messages
were produced on the console.
     b. There are no errors in the .metadata/.log file
