Re: [platform-dev] How do I build the eclipse sdk from CVS?

[Kim Moir <Kim_Moir@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ben

One way would be to use patch the source
build scripts. There is a source build (fetched from cvs) or source included
on every build page under the Eclipse SDK heading.

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/N20060405-0010/index.php

Source Build (Source fetched via CVS) 

Also, there is a slide in this presentation that  provides
an overview of the build process and how the releng projects assemble the
build from cvs.

Subject	[platform-dev] How do I build the eclipse sdk from CVS?

Hi there,

A while ago I ported the Eclipse 3.1 SDK(+ the native SWT bits) onto the
Solaris X86_64 platform.  I'd really like to submit these changes
back
to the Eclipse CVS and so I was trying to work out how to patch my
changes into a current CVS snapshot.  However, I can't work out how
to
actually build Eclipse from the CVS?  It seems to be all split up
into
different packages.  Is there a way of taking lots of packages from
CVS
and turning them into a buildable SDK?  What's the best way to do
this?

Kind Regards,

Ben Staniford.
