Re: [cdt-dev] Add a custom toolchain to the Autotools CDT plugin

Hi Melanie,
Which version of the CDT/Autotools plugin do you work with?
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=374026 was fixed in Juno.

Also, you can try using another approach - instead of adding a new toolchain,
contribute an additional page to the project creation wizard and let a
user select the options there.
Then, you can set it programmatically on finish using this API:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385798

Hope that helps!
Anna.
