Re: [cdt-dev] Passing build configuration options to a project template

["Schaefer, Doug" <Doug.Schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm, the idea behind pkg-config is that I can take the same project to a different machine where the packages are installed in a different location and have the build automatically adjust to the new location. I've been using that capability planning with Wayland. The paths are dynamic and shouldn't be hardcoded in the build settings. Mind you, that makes things a lot more difficult.

At any rate, what I've done in the past is implement a pagesAfterTemplateSelectionProvider. When the wizard is finished it asks the pages for a dictionary of string/value pairs that are passed down to the template processes.
