Re: [cdt-dev] Build issues cdt 7.0.1

[James Blackburn <jamesblackburn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think you need to work out what you want to work on...  Not all the
project in the repository are part of the CDT build, and some have
additional dependencies.  To see what's part of the build, take a look
at cdt.map in org.eclipse.cdt.releng.

I think this is used by the lrparsers. It can be found in the orbit
CVS repository. If you don't need the lrparser, then you can remove
that project.

I don't know of anyone working on cppunit.

This is EDC, it likely depends on TCF (another eclipse project)...

It's also very possible that the 70x branch is broken in the git repo.
 The canonical place to checkout source is still CVS.
