RE: [cdt-dev] Adding a new tool to MBS

The ToolChain element has a TargetTool attribute.  You need to set that
to the tool that generates your final "target".  Otherwise, the
generated makefile has nothing that lets make know that it needs to
execute your tool.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Adding a new tool to MBS

Hi,

I am trying to add the objcopy utility to MBS so that it will
'automatically' 
create an srec file at the end of the build. I have added the following
snippet 
to my plugin.xml

     <tool
       commandLinePattern='${COMMAND} ${FLAGS} ${INPUTS} ${OUTPUT}'
       id='com.crt.objcopy'
       isAbstract='true'
       name='Objcopy'
       natureFilter='both'
     >
          <inputType
             sources="exe"
         	multipleOfType="false"
             id="com.crt.objcopy.input">
          </inputType>
          <outputType
         	outputs="srec"
         	primaryInputType="com.crt.objcopy.input"
             id="com.crt.objcopy.output">
          </outputType>

       <optionCategory
         id='com.crt.objcopy.optionCategory.options'
         name='Options'
         owner='com.crt.objcopy'
       ></optionCategory>
         <option
                valueType="enumerated"
                category="com.crt.objcopy.optionCategory.options"
                browseType="none"
                name="%crt.arm7.objcopy.outputtype"
                id="com.crt.objcopy.outputtype">
             <enumeratedOptionValue
                   command="-I ihex"
                   name="%crt.arm7.objcopy.ihex"
                   id="com.crt.objcopy.outputtype.ihex"/>
             <enumeratedOptionValue
                   isDefault="true"
                   command="-I srec"
                   name="%crt.arm7.objcopy.srec"
                   id="com.crt.objcopy.outputtype.srec"/>
          </option>
     </tool>

I have also instantiated it with:
	<tool
           command="%crt.arm7.objcopy.command"
           name="Objcopy"
 
id='com.crt.arm7.cdt.managedbuild.tool.gnu.cpp.objcopy.exe.debug'
           superClass='com.crt.objcopy'>
         </tool>

The tool succesfully appears in the C/C++ Build properties.
However, when building the project, objcopy is never being called. I'm
sure I 
have got something wrong with my inputType and outputType fields, but I
don't 
know what.

Can somebody give me a pointer?

Thanks,

Derek
