[cdt-dev] Managed Build Questions

["Robert Norton" <rnorton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am evaluating the managed builder (external make) functionality in
CDT4 and have come up with a couple of issues:

1) We have a project consisting of n tests (n about 50) each of which is
to be built into a separate binary. I can't see any way of doing this
except by using make on its own in which case I lose all the benefits of
managed make. I get the impression MBS is flexible enough to support
this, but has anyone done anything similar before? How much work would
be involved?

2) We often have several configurations which are essentially the same
except for some minor variations. Is there some way to inherit
configurations from some master configuration on a global and / or per
project basis? (copying configurations is NOT a solution). How have
others solved this? Could the MBS support for plugable configuration
management be used to support this?

Thanks,

Robert Norton
