| Re: [cdt-dev] Internal Builder |
Hello again, Part of my earlier question was answered by org.eclipse.cdt.msw.build But I still have some doubts. So I’ll give it another try. From reading through MBS, I gather that IManagedBuilderMakefileGenerator2, is the interface that needs to be implemented for any external build tool. So if I wanted to support NMake, I would use GnuMakefileGenerator as a starting point, and modify it for NMake’s syntax. If I wanted to avoid that effort, would the internal builder be a good option? Does CDT’s internal builder use .project and .cproject files to completely store its internal representation (or is more info needed)? Are these file formats reasonably stable and documented? Thanks for any suggestions, Stan Mitchell From: cdt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:cdt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stan Mitchell I’m working on a plug-in for CDT to support a custom tool-chain. (Helios, CDT 7.0) The MBS document states that the internal builder will be used if the superclass attribute is set to org.eclipse.cdt.build.core.internal.builder. Is it intended to be used in conjunction with an external build tool or can a tool chain be setup to _only_ use the internal builder? Are there any plans to create an exportable file representation of an internal build? Stan Mitchell |
