[cdt-dev] Build Model Enhancements for CDT 8.0

[Doug Schaefer <cdtdoug@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey gang,

I've started an enhancement request for changes I'd like to make to
the Build Model, not the managed build model, but the build stuff in
the project model. My objective is to be able to enable other
"managed" build systems to be first class citizens in the CDT's build
system. Specifically this includes CMake, Qt's qmake, autotools
configure, and something I'm calling file-managed make which manages a
single make variable listing the source files to be included in the
build. And, I'm looking at some internal build systems we have for our
Wind River platforms to make sure they can plug in too.

The bug is here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321443.
I'll be attaching a document soon (probably later in the week)
describing what I want to do. Please follow and offer feedback.

Thanks,
Doug.
