Re: [linuxtools-dev] new Linux Tools plug-in idea

[James Blackburn <jamesblackburn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Corey,

This should be straightforward-ish to do using the CDT template engine.   I've battled against this reasonably recently so can give pointers as and when you get stuck...

Hello,

I've been tossing around the idea in my head about a nice little plug-in
to add to the Linux tools suite is CDT C project creation wizard that
automates the steps shown here:

Neat. I notice the wiki entry isn't parented, perhaps you should link to it from the CDT FAQ?

The wizard would prompt for a few things, like the processor
architecture (x86, etc.), and any special gcc compilation switches
needed, but it would do all of the rest of the configuration on its own.

This should all be possible using the template engine and some XML.

 

Cheers,

James
