[cdt-dev] Toolchain discovery and build system

[Chin Huat Ang <chinhuat@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a custom toolchain (myarch-elf-gcc etc) that runs under Cygwin. However, it's not clear to me that:

1. How does CDT detect if a Cygwin/MinGW toolchain is present, or what's the right way to setup/startup Eclipse CDT so that it can properly look for all available toolchains?
2. How can CDT tell whether a toolchain (or gcc, make) needs to run under Cygwin or not, or does CDT care about this at all?
3. Does CDT natively handles Cygwin/Windows environment when the build system uses Cygwin/MinGW toolchain?
