[cdt-dev] Recommendations on further CDT plug-in enhancements

["Matthias Halfmann" <mhalfmann@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Currently my MDS plug-in generates Makefile in the default locations, ie
Debug and Release directories. We have several different compilers with
different configurations so we usually build under a subdirectory, ie
Eclipse/Debug and Eclipse/Release.

In order to have my plug-in support building in such a subdirectory I
will need to feed the makefile generator a new path so that it can
create the appropriate directory structure and modify the value of the
ROOT variable for the generated makefiles. Can anyone recommend the
correct/easiest way to do this? Will I need to write my own
IManagedBuilderMakefileGenerator or can I accomplish this some other
way?

In addition to the path change above I'd like to be able to support
multiple targets in a project. Some of our projects have multiple c/cpp
files each of which have their own main and are meant to be built into a
separate executable. I may be able to move these files into separate
subdirectories and use the default MBS behavior of one exe per project
but I'd like to at least explore the possibility of adding multiple
managed targets per project. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I
could accomplish this?

Thanks for the input,
Mtthias
