Re: [cdt-dev] CDT Development

Thanks for your swift reply!

Yes you're right, It runs as eclipse application despite the errors. Will remove all projects I don't need. Can now start modifying things and then learn how to export the modified plug-in!

The guide is very good. I just got a bit lost because I'm am not working on the latest versions of Eclipse and CDT. As I said, I had trouble finding a 3.7.2 classic version of Eclipse SDK and the first time I tried all this I was using the wrong versions. Anyhow, now it works which is great!

Thanks again,

Antony

Hi,
I'm trying to change some code in CDT for the needs of our project (and maybe for other developers' projects) and I've followed:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Getting_started_with_CDT_development

I have a couple of questions:

1) I'm at the part "Clone the Repo", which I have done (branch cdt_8_0) and taking heed of the comment: "Select all the projects or individual. Project filter does not seems to work. It maybe easier select all, then close projects you don't need", I've imported everything. But, when the workspace builds there are errors. Should I remove the projects with errors?

Those with errors are:
org.eclipse.cdt.codan.internal.ui.cxx
org.eclipse.cdt.core.lrparser
org.eclipse.cdt.core.lrparser.xlc
org.eclipse.cdt.core.parser.upc
org.eclipse.cdt.launch.remote
org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core
org.eclipse.cdt.tests

I would remove those projects (unless you really are interested in UPC or remote launching):
org.eclipse.cdt.core.lrparser
org.eclipse.cdt.core.lrparser.xlc
org.eclipse.cdt.core.parser.upc
org.eclipse.cdt.launch.remote

For the other projects, are you getting only API errors? You could ignore them or set your API baseline, as seen in the Eclipse Setup section or the same page. Also, I think org.eclipse.cdt.codan.internal.ui.cxx in 8.0 had an API error that wasn't fixed until later.


2) As suggested by Marc, (in another post) I am working with an Eclipse SDK with no CDT installed, so presumably I need all CDT projects for it to function. Is that right?

No, you can select only the ones you're interested in and their dependencies. For example, if you only import org.eclipse.cdt.ui, the manifest.mf will complain about missing org.eclipse.cdt.core so you'll have to import it as well. On the Getting started page I put a list of projects that you could start with.


As I've taken a long time to get to this point, I don't want to start experimenting and then have to start all over again, so I'm hoping someone could help me out.

I would be happy to contribute my humble offerings if I could understand how this works.

Thanks. Let me know if some parts of the guide needs more clarification.


Thanks,

Antony

PS. I am using Eclipse Indigo 3.7.2 Classic (could not find this in Eclipse site, so downloaded it from FileHippo) and CDT 8.0.2
