RE: [cdt-dev] Environment variables not passed to make

You're right in suggesting that this idea is not flexible for multiple
tool sets support.  The right approach is probably in the tool-set
definition as proposed in bugzilla bug 82873 which I've since
discovered.

Is this the right approach ?
What about if I do not want to spawn with the default environment(the
one set in the preference).
Or if I want to override one environment variable for a specific action
... say the build.

So far we can set the environment:
- when launching
- when building

What other places do you need to set environments ?
